be aware that ben is this: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ben which is what powers https://release.debian.org/transitions/index.html :) I'm really not able to provide such support, though maybe you can easily follow it by just see what fails to build.

I've committed the change to git, as I assume you know you things as a hppa porter. If you don't stop me I'll upload next hours. -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`. more about me: https://mapreri.org : :' : Launchpad user: https://launchpad.net/~mapreri `. `'` Debian QA page: https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=mattia `-
