Aidan, if I may presume from your mail headers that you are in Ireland,
then try the following sources for apt:

deb http://ftp.ie.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.ie.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free

deb-src http://ftp.ie.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.ie.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free

I've just gone and had a look and the ftp.ie.debian.org archive contains
hppa packages.  Also note that I specified 'testing' rather than 'woody'
so that you can stand a 'safe distance' from the edge of the cliff but
still get some of the view.  =)  (You might prefer stable.)

Andrew.
