That's great. The more SPARC upstream developers run Debian, the better ;). You
are also very welcome to send any patches for the Debian packaging or even become
a co-maintainer for Debian/sparc64 ;).
In any case, this mailing list post should help you getting Debian installed on
your SPARC box:

That's because I actually just took Debian's source grub2 package, added your
patches as a single Debian patch and rebuilt the package with the "+sparc64"
version suffix added.
The packaging source for Debian's grub2 source package can be found here:

Note: This does not include your patches yet as I just created an unofficial
grub2 package for sparc64 only. If you check the "debian" subdirectory, you'll
see that there are already some sparc/sparc64-specific files in place and we
should probably just update these files as well to adjust the default configuration
for sparc and sparc64.
