	Perhaps I've misunderstood something, but have a look at some of the
	archived messages:

	http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc-0007/msg00066.html
	http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc-0011/msg00252.html
	http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc-0010/msg00119.html

	Is this information incorrect ?

	Cheers,
