How about a binary-pent directory with symlinks back to binary-i386 until a package is uploaded. Then we need to tell dselect(ftp) to get the packages from binary-pent instead of binary-i386. Is there an easy way to do this? (Also, if pentium clones also work with the ecgs compiled packages, maybe i586 is better than pent.)
