Below it a message that arrived in -www asking for more info about Debian for s390. I checked the trustsec link it now shows a web page but I couldn't find the "Web portal", do you have any information so we can update the Debian WWW pages?

The trustsec link goes to a page which says“IT WORKS”, and the Web portal link fails entirely. Is there another source for media for Debian for S390?
Sine Nomine Associates will sell you a preconfigured Debian etch guest with VM installation tools and documentation, which is intended to be used as an installer for more S/390 instances. Obviously it's only useful under z/VM. It *is* really handy for those sites whose z/ VM machines aren't allowed to talk to the network-at-large.
However, doing a network installation is pretty straightforward, as is using buildmirror to create a pool repository.
I don't know of anyone that does a straight-up media service for it. Adam
