Because nobody on kfreebsd list was interested, and I myself is not
interested in that architecture, I decided to limit the ARCHs by only
those supported by fuse-utils. Respectively, I amended the
Architecture: line in the debian/control of my package. Then, my
sponsor uploaded it to unstable. However, because there had been
already a version of my package in testing (sucessfully built on
kfreebsd-*) [as I wrote, it got there because originally my package
did not have a dependency on fuse-utils, that was, strictly speaking,
a bug on linux that I recently attempted to correct], I suspect that
this upload would not be enough to let the new version of the package
propagate into testing. Please correct me if I am wrong. If not,
please let me know what to do in this situation.
Many thanks for any help!
