Good point - the issue with limiting it to sparc64 only is that this is currently a ports-only architecture, so the package would have to go into the "unreleased" repository, making it more tedious to maintain. This was suggested by John: https://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2018/08/msg00087.html I'd very much like to get it closer to a state that is acceptable for the XSF, so any advice is appreciated. I'm maintaining the package here: https://salsa.debian.org/onitake-guest/xserver-xorg-video-sunffb And a previous upload to mentors is here: https://mentors.debian.net/package/xserver-xorg-video-sunffb
