I appreciate that, however..... upstream distributes mozart as a
platform-dependent byte emulator and a platform-independent set of
compiled libraries.  The platform-dependent emulator is stored in a
sub-directory named after their own idiosyncratic naming scheme.
(os-cpu) and they ship a shell script, ozplatform, to determine that
at run-time.  One advantage for upstream is that they can put
everything in a bundle, different machines can mount it and will run
fine.  This may be good it may be bad, and it has been discussed
before, but upstream isn't gonna change and it is pervasive.  Most of
the Debian packaging is moving the components to be LSB conformant.

So the problem here is that ozplatform isn't detecting the S390
correctly. If you have access to zandonai.debian.org it would be great
if you could run that echo line.

Thanks
Kevin
