Yeah, I swapped it over once everything in unstable/i386 was fixed.

Cool. There are a number of other outstanding problems; I've been fixing
them or looking for help with them where possible, but other people
might be in a better position to do this. The ones I can think of are:
* swisswatch needs a binary NMU on alpha (I've mailed their port
list).
* rscheme needs fixing generally.
* gforth won't build on m68k ("Invalid memory address" when it runs
itself).
* xfractint won't build on powerpc.
* realtimebattle won't build on arm (internal compiler error).
* A number of other packages need updated binaries.
In these cases, if we can't get binaries up to date, they probably ought
to be removed on the problematic architectures.
