Yes, your pakcage list is right.
There is it in the unreleased repository whether some packages cannot build.
However, most packages should be in unstable soon.

II have a question about qemu.
sh4 is already supported in qemu, but does not work on sh4.
The patch is contributed, but it does not apply yet .
Could you remove qemu from list of sh4.?
How are mips and mipsel?

Best regards,
  Nobuhiro
