there was a hppa build in etch which now isn't anymore. Policy 5.6.8
(`Architecture') footnote [2] says:
[2] This is a setting used for a minority of cases where the program is
not portable. Generally, it should not be used for new packages.
Assuming that the package is in fact portable.
The maintainer of the package worked around some buildd problem,
obviously, albeit the infrasture ought to handle this failure
gracefully:
istanbul (0.2.2-3) unstable; urgency=low
.
[...]
* Disabling those architectures where python-gst isn't
available
I.e. the packages would be available now that python-gst is there,
too (through dep-wait).
Kind regards,
