Right now there are only 17megs worth of links from sparc potato to sid.
Those will disappear when potato releases. There is another 63 megs of
symlinks from sparc potato to sparc slink. Those will also disappear.

The reason sid is left is to avoid a large mirror push. We've now
gradually made it obsolete over two releases (as expected in these cases),
so when this release comes around, it will be gone.
