As Adam said, the Debian package slice is in slink and is announced in the
Depends: line. It is not a pure i386 thing (you work on Sparc, do you?):
ncftp /debian/dists/slink/main > ls */*/slice*
binary-alpha/text/slice_1.3.2-3.deb source/text/slice_1.3.2-3.diff.gz@
binary-i386/text/slice_1.3.2-3.deb@ source/text/slice_1.3.2-3.dsc@
binary-m68k/text/slice_1.3.2-3.deb@ source/text/slice_1.3.2.orig.tar.gz@
binary-sparc/text/slice_1.3.2-3.deb@
For a more detailed explanation, I quote verbatim the README:
To have architecture-dependant parts in the master file, you'll need to use
"slices". The slice program is a Debian package. An example of slice (the
name is always in uppercase) is:
[I386:
Only for the PC
:I386]
You can also exclude an architecture:
[NOT_ALPHA:
Only for the other architectures
:NOT_ALPHA]
If you want to add a slice (for a new architecture), be sure to add empty
slices at the end of master (or slice will complain about unknown slices)
and to add the slice at the beginning of master. More documentation can be
found in slice(1) or at <http://www.engelschall.com/sw/slice/>.
