Actually that one shouldn't be used anywhere yet...

I would be surprised, given it was broken in 3.6.x that way. Did anyone
do alpha porting work?
And: will that be kept? I.e. does 4.2.x build on alpha? Will you provide
fixes for alpha (at most) a few days *BEFORE* the LO release if needed?
Otherwise it does not make sense - and given that alpha afaics never will be
back in Debian a simple waste of resources.
The change in 3.6.x was just documenting the truth that noone care(s/d)
about alpha.
And builds != works. Does it work?

Rene
