https://salsa.debian.org/xorg-team/driver/xserver-xorg-video-mach64 and
https://salsa.debian.org/xorg-team/driver/xserver-xorg-video-sunffb are
still there.

Even though the packages are gone, the drivers may still work.

sunffb needs some changes, which are available in my fork:
https://salsa.debian.org/onitake-guest/xserver-xorg-video-sunffb

Adrian: Do you know if these packages can introduced back into
debian-ports in some way? I think we discussed this before, but I don't
remember what came out of it...
