Hi Julien!

> What purpose would building/shipping it anywhere else serve?

It's a workaround to be able to upload the package to unstable.

Uploading a package that does not produce any builds on the release
architectures would result in the source package being removed
immediately by the FTP servers.

What we could do is actually split the package into an arch:all
and arch:sparc64 part (e.g. documentation) so that the package
gets build for arch:all and can be uploaded to unstable.
