OK with me since I'm not the maintainer anymore.

There are 3 of them. See
https://wiki.debian.org/Ports/ia64
It might be useful to send an email to the debian-ia64 list to notify
them.

I tried looking at this once. It looked more difficult than I was
willing to do for IA-64. There are so many checks in the qsort compare
functions that I don't think you can get a stable sort there. I think
this is really a sel-sched problem not an IA-64 problem, but the IA-64
port is tied to sel-sched and may not work well without it. Most other
ports aren't using it by default.
