Debian on sparc does no longer exist and "sparc-utils" is a package with the architectures "sparc" and "sparc64". The former is no longer part of Debian, the latter is part of Debian Ports. Any package which is not building on the release architectures cannot exist anywhere but in Debian *unreleased* and any package there is not part of Debian and completely unsupported. It merely exists there because *I* put it there. > I fail to see how having the proper tool in the distribution makes > things harder for users.

This is how projects are forked and this is how projects like XFree86, OSS, cdrecord and so on went down the drain. Because one or single maintainers thought their opinion is all that counts.
