That list seems outdated: sparc is no longer supported. Neither is ia64
or s390.

kfreebsd-* is also not a part of the official Debian release, although
there is a jessie-kfreebsd suite.

alpha and hppa are listed as discontinued, but as far as I know they are
kept in a fairly good state[1] on ports.d.o even if they will properly
not be part of the official Debian releases in the future.
