Greetings. As an amd64 user (though admittedly not an official porter), I have been following the new official buildd's progress with some interest, and observed a problem with the potential to block quite a few packages: although the firebird2 source package rightly claims to support amd64 (I just verified that 1.5.3.4870-3 builds without errors on my system), Packages-arch-specific lists it as specific to (hurd-)i386. Could you please bless it for amd64 as well?
Thanks! [Ordinarily, this wouldn't necessarily be a big deal; however, the old unofficial buildd built a few versions of firebird2 despite the P-a-s entry, so qt-x11-free wound up adding a build-dependency on firebird2-dev on November 29. As such, it will now be in perpetual dep-wait unless something is done to free it, and in turn hold back quite a few other packages -- particularly given gnome-vfs2's counterintuitive indirect build-dependency on qt-x11-free by way of avahi.] -- Aaron M.
