I'm not sure how UPA works exactly, but I don't think it matters what bus
architecture the machine is based on.

I just realised that the Debian repository I based my patched version on
neither had a pristine-tar branch nor proper upstream release tags, and the
tarballs it wants are based on a newer upstream commit than the upstream tarball.

I may have to rebase and add the difference as a patch to make the source
package Debian-clean again. Once that's done, I'll upload the source bundle to
mentors, so you can fetch it there.
