Ok, I'll try my luck. I managed to revamp the package in a way that my
UltraSparc still boots. ;-)

I though couldn't yet play around with silo on sparc64, see my other
recent mail to debian-sparc@lists.debian.org.

Given.

Request sent. I'm also already subscribed to the debootloaders-silo
mailing list.

I though don't intent to continue maintaining the package in svn, but
rather switch to git, with the git repository based on the previous
svn repository.

I'll create the git repository on Alioth and push my changes as soon
as I've got write permissions to /git/debootloaders/.

Further co-maintainers of course still welcome! :-)
