No. This is the standard requirement that a package not have any *out of date* binaries for any architecture. Not being built for an architecture is acceptable and just means the package hasn't been ported to the arch yet, but having out-of-date binaries implies that there has been a regression on an architecture where this package is supported. Since in this case the regression is caused by an unavailable build dependency, the proper course of action is to ask the ftpmasters for removal of the hppa binaries. This is the maintainer's responsibility. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
