I looked into the debian part of the sources of these packages to see the
supported architectures.
For example, svgalib's debian control file says: "Architecture: i386 alpha".
Xfree86 only build mach64, s3, s3v & svga servers on alpha target.
and so on...
However, I didn't look at the slink archive to see whether such packages
really exist for alpha.
About the sparc, we don't support ultras right now. Debian/sparc port is only
for sun4c & sun4m (there is a separate port for ultrasparc as they are based
on a 64 bit hardware).

Yes, so I guess you can remove it from your list.

Depends: libc6 (>= 2.0.93), ncurses3.4, zlib1g
Well, in fact, this package need to be recompiled for sparc. It depends on
old libc6 & ncurses releases.

Thanks for your help.
It's too late for me to try it now... Have to wait tomorrow evening ;-((
