this was done intentionally for lenny, as many architectures are not likely to
be useful as thin clients (see #483293), and nobody stepped up to test other
architectures. the packages in lenny and sid are only amd64, i386 and powerpc.

please consider updating the buildd's to not attempt to build ltsp, at least
until after lenny release.

the packages in experimental do allow any architecture to build, though it
would be preferred if someone would care to build and test that they actually
work for any additional architectures.

live well,
  vagrant

Hello (older and newer :D) P-a-s maintainers,

lamont@debian.org <lamont@debian.org> (23/11/2008):

Looking at the changelog:
,--
| ltsp (5.1.3-1) unstable; urgency=low
| 
| …
| 
|   * limit architectures to amd64, i386 and powerpc
|     - network booting for the other architectures is not well tested
| 
|  -- Vagrant Cascadian <vagrant@freegeek.org>  Wed, 16 Apr 2008 16:39:23 -0400
`--

If that sounds like a sufficiently-valid reason, please add ltsp to
P-a-s and close the associated bug.

Mraw,
KiBi.
