I also agree with Sven that it is not nice to not get a message
why or what is going on with an uploaded package.
Where I wrote
[1] Sven: let it go
I should have wrote
[1] Sven: let it go, don't spend your energy on frustrating things.
And I was expecting a reply like
| | I don't know where the arm kernel went [1]
| It sits beside the powerpc kernel packages.
| If none cares, why should I care. I have a running arm system.
Or any other message that tells what is going on.
It would be good if some one else then Sven would told debian-boot.
That was the other reason for
[1] Sven: let it go

AFAIK it is a fairly good state.
Kernels and other udebs are in the Debian archives.
Goswin and Steve Langasek did some tests on alpha,
more testreports on alpha are appriciated.
