mips64el is not as broken as mipsel. But extensions are broken. Too bad
we *do* have various extensions in the archive.

See the extension subthread in https://lists.debian.org/debian-mips/2023/07/threads.html

As said in https://lists.debian.org/debian-mips/2023/07/msg00020.html I *could* disable the
extension mechanism and disable Java and python to get the  needed packages NBS but that would
be bad, imho - where would you stop?
