As I have mentioned before, you will need to add "silo", "silo-installer"
and "sparc-utils" as these packages are part of "unreleased", not
"unstable".
Add the packages with:
$ reprepro includeudeb unstable /path/to/udeb/*udeb
$ reprepro includeudeb unstable /path/to/deb/*deb
The packages mentioned above are in the "unreleased" distribution because those
are sparc64-only packages and it is not possible to upload any source package
to Debian unstable which will build binary packages on a ports architecture
only.
If I uploaded "silo" to unstable, it wouldn't build on any of the release architectures
and the FTP servers would automatically removed the source packages after a grace
period if these packages haven't produced any binary packages on the release architectures.
Debian "unreleased" exists for this exact reason, but it is not used in Debian Installer
and debootstrap by default.
