It is. Only businesscard (which we don't build) and netinst (which is
purely gcc-3.3 all the way) have the udebs on them.

Doesn't look like its going to happen. There are too many patches
needed for gcc-3.4 that most likely won't make it into sarge and
several of us want to release a unofficial sarge with a minimum of
extra patches compared to the official one.
And with a gcc-3.3 sarge there has to be a clean upgrade path like all
the other archs will need post sarge too, that takes time and work.
