I did speak with Martin Zobel at Debconf on how to get there, having two proposals:
- define a new sparc64 port, and bootstrap this one using the 32bit port.
This is rather easy. I already did a s390x bootstrap using this method.
- have an inplace-transition building required library packages for an
upgrade as biarch packages and continue to use the current sparc name.
This would mean that many packages needs to be modified. Is it really
worth the work needed if we consider the availability of multiarch in
the next time?
