When a kernel package for a specific platform disappears entirely from
repositories for 10 days (May 6 to May 16), it's not a trivial event.

There was no 3.8 Linux kernel whatsoever to be had for sparc at all - no
such package existed as far as the system was concerned. If this is a
normal occurrence and business-as-usual at Debian, then please forgive me
for wasting your time...
