On the contrary, kernel-patch-adeos is still in etch for mips and mipsel,
because the kernel-patch-adeos source package was never built there so never
overwrote the binaries from the rtai source.

But then the question is whether the rtai source package is affected by bug
#378967 as well.  If it isn't, then getting a working kernel-patch-adeos
back into etch is as simple as binNMUing rtai for the archs in question; if
it is, then it seems likely that rtai as a whole would need to be dropped
from etch.
