Looking at the eglibc vs. glibc thing, it seems to be it wouldn't cause
any troubles if debian-installer were to build again on sparc later,
since it would then pull the new glibc package as Extra-Source-Only:
yes? So there's no need to try and make sure it no longer builds there
(n-f-u or similar)?
In which case: yes, it looks to me old binaries can be removed.
