[ TL;DR: d-i FTBFS on sparc, what do we do now? ]

Thanks, Thomas.


@Kurt: did anything change on the buildd setup side? Both lebrun and spontini
got that FTBFS, while that wasn't the case before:
  https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=debian-installer&arch=sparc

genisoimage comes from src:cdrkit, which wasn't exactly updated in a while:
  http://packages.qa.debian.org/c/cdrkit.html

I've got to double check what happens on smetana, but I think I didn't
get that error when trying to debug this FTBFS a few months ago.

I'm not sure we want to continuously give it back until it builds (which
it might on schroeder, since it didn't fail there yet)…


Failing a short resolution, I'm tempted to pretend sparc isn't an issue,
and maybe ask for a migration to testing + dak copy-installer.

@debian-release: would that sound reasonable?

@ftpmasters: I'm not sure an out-of-date build is going to be OK on the
dak side. What do you think?

@Thomas: Probably due to historical reasons. Not sure I want to be
touching that since I know nothing about architecture/image-specific
settings. :/
