Great, thank you.
A supplementary question: Since these extra architectures are available only from my alternative apt source, I should add instructions for its use to the official installation instructions for Debian?
What is your opinion?
Sounds good to me. Another option would be for Tim to make them available on the main site.
Cheers Michele
I'm not opposed to this idea, but I'd need some additional funding for the new architecture-specific builders. In particular for MIPS there is a 1.2GHz new board that runs Debian and would be a good candidate.
Any volunteers?

Perhaps a "cheaper" way for MIPS and POWERPC is for Slavek to continue building on his builders and then just copy the built packages over to the main site for download. What's your opinion? Cheers Michele
That is of course an option, though it does require maintaining two separate repositories with separate installation instructions as a result. In a normal business environment the time required to maintain the separate MIPS/POWER repositories and documentation would be factored in; in the FOSS world maybe all I need is a sponsor who will keep all of that up to date?
