No, this is a generic problem: when slink was frozen for i385/m68k all
slink alpha (+sparc etc.) subdirectories *disappeared*.
It happened with hamm the same way, and it took painfully long to establish
sid with the leftovers.
It would be *really* nice if they *only* disappeared in frozen !
Currently there does not seem to be any mirror of the current alpha stuff
(sid just has symbolic links into the now removed slink subdirectories).
I'll ask on devel.
Cheers,
Kristoffer
