Ok, the question is: Do we want sparc32 as well or just sparc64? As
I mentioned already, sparc32 (32-bit userland and 64-bit kernel -
where supported) most likely needs less porting and should be
easier to be kept up-to-date than sparc64.
However, both 32-bit and 64-bit SPARC packages can be built on
64-bit machines using different build chroots.

I will come back to that.
