Not really. I checked the i386 ppp package: it's ok. I guess it was a problem using a not up-to-date debmake. I rebuilt it with the latest debmake 3.5.18 in slink and now the postinst is right. I put it under on ftp://lix.polytechnique.fr/pub/Linux/debian/sparc/local if you want to test it. If nobody objects I will upload it tomorrow.
