I have recently heard (rumors - not done deeper research) that currently non-free packages are not autobuilded. This seems to explain why the package phylip is not builded for powerpc and armel[1]. It would be somehow nice if we could get the latest version of this package into squeeze. Do you any chance to get a freeze exception for this? If yes I would somehow try to care for packages on these architectures.
Most of the non-free Debian Science / Med packages suffer from this in some way. I've made some efforts to get non-free reactivated and at least for powerpc it should be fixed now. We will try to add more builders on other architectures to the set of non-free building machines, if no unexpected events happen again (like there were the last time we tried).
Kind regards, Philipp Kern
