As said, this is now done, and there has been no answer from the porters yet. Of course, if someone steps up and manages to fix ocamlopt on hppa, we can readd it later. However, I don't think that can happen in the short term. > - What to do with packages like slat and confluence, that seem to fail > to build for hppa with this package removed?

The other packages affected by this are ara and whitelister, which only build arch-specific debs on architectures where ocamlopt is available, so their hppa deb is now NBS. I asked the maintainers to update the Architecture field of their package. Is there something else you need (or would like) me to do?
