I think this might be fixed now from Joey's NMU.

I've NMU'd a package which fixes both of these, last night.

Hmm, forgot about this one :) I'll upload a fixed package today.

The duplication was my fault. I resent the original patch and forgot that
submit@b.d.o was in the To. I've closed the second one above.

This is going to either require me to port some stuff from gcc272 into
this package, or make it just ignore sparc in the architecure field. This
late in the game for potato, I think I'll choose the latter and make an
NMU (if the maintainer doesn't mind).

I'll NMU this. It will take all of two seconds to fix, and the maintainer
has pretty much ignored it.

I'll probably NMU this one aswell.
