I don't think we can go all the way yet, but let's make a start. If the architecture maintainers send me patches which clearly don't affect other archs or otherwise cause build problems, I will merge them. I don't think we can guarantee a tree that builds on all or most architectures, but we should be able to keep the difference to a minimum. -- Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 is out!
