Already done, as you can see in the patches in the powerpcspe specific
bugs and discussed with Matthias.

Yes, that should work now also. Stuff is rebuilding currently anyway.
About 4000 binary packages in my repo currently. Will get back to you
when questions occur.

Well, boost1.49 is actually not there, but boost-defaults 1.49.1.1 :

http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-ports/pool-powerpcspe/main/b/boost-defaults/

while only 1.49.0.1 is in unstable/experimental source. That's what I
meant. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks,
