Sorry, I did work this out but then I seem to have confused myself.
libunwind8-dev is available but not practically installable as gcc
packages depend on libunwind7-dev (while ~everything depends on
libunwind7).

The last mention I see of this is:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.announce/1800/focus=67614

Matthias, whether or not ia64 should be a release architecture, it
currently is and you must not block work on it.

If ia64 will not be ignored for testing transitions then it looks like
I have to remove the build-dependency from linux-tools - there's no way
I can let the kernel wait for a full rebuild of ia64.
