And I forgot to say, (but Loic has), we will definately be discussing
this general issue of arm arches and default build options at Debconf
as it's clearly a hot topic. If people have had their say here then we
should have enough info to make a decision and get on with things.
Even a second official port is not beyond the realms of possibility.
And finally - good work Konstantinos doing all that porting and
testing, and thank you Hector for bringing it up here.
