Steve,
welcome!
I'm just replying to what was already on the CC list.
I've also added parisc-linux mailing list since this may involve
kernel and/or need FP unit expertise that I don't have.

We (several hppa developers) are working on it.
But keep in mind this is a hobby for all of us.

My opinion: release team should move on and ignore hppa until this is
resolved. If it doesn't get resolved in the next couple of weeks
(say by Feb or mid-Feb), then drop hppa from etch. But I'm not
a DD and don't want to know the politics involved. Just my $0.02.

*nod* - I saw the KDE dependency already.

Yes, we are making progress - nothing new to report since last week.
I'm looking at it today and will consult with other hppa developers
once I have more data later today.
And as noted above, I think release team should informally ignore
hppa until this is resolved and we catch up again. But I don't know
what the politics or policys in Debian allow for. I'm just a (mostly)
happy debian user and upstream (hppa) maintainer.
thanks,
grant
