Hi, did you discuss supporting partial architecture for use with multiarch? What I mean here is that for example powerpc64 doesn't need a full set of packages. There is no need to run bash in 64bit for example. But some people might need a 64bit postgreql. So it would be enough to build only a subset of packages for powerpc64 and run the buildds under multiarch with powerpc + powerpc64 configured. Obviously that still is work in progress but with dpkg and apt finally getting multiarch ready and the emdebian people working on cross compilers and cross building this shouldn't be too far in the future now. The question is: Would you support a partial port that is just an extention of an existing port or does it need to be a full port?
