Thanks Jurij.

Hi Dave,

I used my favourite clueless poking technique and it "Just worked" :-). Below I am including the diff between the "broken" sparc64 config (currently in the archive) and the new "fixed" one. You can extract the complete config from any kernel-image .deb by unpacking it with 'dpkg -x kernel-image-<version>.deb .' and looking in boot subdirectory.
