How come? I'm interested, as I have a wishlist bug for ftp.debian.org
waiting in the queue.

Yes. I do not know anyone using LVM on sparc (and I do know some
running Debian/sparc. :-), and think it is silly that the missing
sparc compile blocks LVM from entering Woody. We will include the Sid
packages in our Woody-based distribution until the problem is fixed.

This will have to wait for the maintainer (or some other Debian
Developer).
