Nice to hear that it worked out.
I guess it'd also be useful if I produced d-i images with your udebs and
tested them. Tell me if there's anything else I could do.
Yes, next step would be to create the installation media (at least
mini-iso) which does not use umul/udev. The only remaining task
after that is to identify the packages compiled with optimizations (should
not be that many) and make a separate repository with non-optimized
versions for them. I think it is completely feasible to provide a working
unofficial port of sarge for sun4c that way. By the way, you can check for
presence of these instructions by running
objdump --disassemble-all <name_of_library_or_binary> | grep umul
If you will make significant progress in this, you could apply for an
alioth project and host the needed files there.
