Ping! Two more weeks and no answer from either Geert or the SPARC buildd maintainers. I'm CCing this to debian-sparc in the hope to at least get some status update.
IMHO the best solution would be to adopt the same setup as on most other architectures: To build the d-i daily images on a buildd. See below for more information on the setup. If I don't get an answer by the end of the year I'll add a note to the daily images overview[1] and possibly similar pages that currently no sparc images can be provided until some steps in to do the necessary work.

I did not receive any answer from you about this. Are you still interested? Or is someone from the sparc buildd maintainers interested in adapting the same setup as is used for other archs? See http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2010/03/msg00599.html for how to setup the daily builds on Debian build daemons.
