AFAIK, the debian-gis repo doesn't hook into any buildd system and
therefore sid or backports.org might be a more useful thing to use &
support. I'm not entirely sure why the debian-gis repo exists. I'd also
like to see us use the official Debian wiki, especially considering the
recentish alioth compromise.

Looks like packages.debian.org has a bug - amd64 is official, not
unofficial. You want debian rather than debian-amd64. amd64 was
integrated into the archive over a year ago, just after the release of
sarge:

Fairly current, although be aware that etch was frozen for several
months.
