Hi Bastian,

I talked with upstream and they confirmed my observations that mongo is
supposed to work only on x86 architectures

<cite author="Richard Kreuter">
The mongodb server depends on both little-endianness and unaligned
memory access, which I believe means it can only work on i386 and
amd64, so yes, we're not portable beyond those.  (It has compiled for
me in the past on powerpc, but it won't run there.)
</cite>

I believe that we have only two options - remove mongodb from Debian or
support it only on x86 and amd64 architectures. I would vote for the
second option.

I will make a not in README.Debian in mongodb package.

        Thank you very much for you input,

                Antonin
