Kevin told me about a failure to build on certain mips machines.
I was not able to fix it for lack of such a machine.

I was not aware of an IA64 failure.
Can you give me a pointer to the failure page in the debian build system?
In order to fix it, I could use a temporary access to an IA64 machine.
Is this something you can arrange with the debian people?

Kevin found simpler to maintain the debian directory inside the lush cvs.
It would be easy for us to give you write access as well.
It would also be easy for us to simply remove this directory from cvs.
Your choice will be ours.
