Bug#488374: installation-reports: [ia64] missing libunwind.so.7 => parted_devices cannot find disks

It looks as though the problem is:

* libparted1.8-udeb depends on the architecture-specific package libunwind7
  on ia64, because the parted library requires libunwind.so.7

* src:libunwind does not build any udebs at all

According to experimental buildd logs, this dependency was introduced
between 1.8.7.git.2007.07.30-1.1 and 1.8.8.git.2008.03.24-1. The 1.8 branch
was in experimental since 2006, and landed in unstable last weekend.

The new dependency seems to be due to a Parted change rather than a gcc
change - after building parted 1.7.1-5.1 using sid's gcc 4.3.1 (on merulo),
there is no libunwind dependency.
