We are actually trying to get rid of these packages which is one reason
why we have switched from SILO to GRUB. The second one is that SILO is
unmaintained upstream and 32-bit only.
Currently we have only sparc-utils which is in "unreleased" and the problem
is there that "unreleased" has to be maintained manually and it's not
possible to perform source-only uploads. "unreleased" is rather a stopgap
solution rather than something you want to use in the longterm.
