Well, I was playing maintainer-for-the-bug, as it were. ;)  But your
revised patch is superb; thanks for all the work!

I agree.  My previous patch was mostly intended to show what needed to
be turned off for powerpc.  I'd somehow got it in my head that it was
the maintianer that had asked for help on -powerpc, and so completely
missed that the package was orphaned.  Because of that, I thought that
the maintainer would be better suited to fixing it to only affect ppc.

Here's an alternate patch for debian/config.fb.  I've used it to do
builds on powerpc and i386.  With this version vgaplan4.o isn't built on
powerpc, but is on i386 (and should be on other architectures).

  Hi,

  I'd like a init.d script to load my prefered soundbank at boot.
  Please include the following script to awe-drv.
  Also put "aumix" package in "Suggests" section.

 Thanks,

Not on powerpc it doesn't. I've kept the build tree around (17 MB), would
you like a tarball of that or just the log file?

I've quoted from the fail log in a followup to the BTS. And yes, I'm
guessing. That's all my limited resources permit at the moment.
