Hi Steve!,

Ok, can you then please sponsor a package for me? I can fix this bug, also #740628 and push on mentors.

The main reason is:

armel is not present in the architecture list set by the maintainer 
armhf is not present in the architecture list set by the maintainer 
hurd-i386 is not present in the architecture list set by the maintainer 
kfreebsd-amd64 is not present in the architecture list set by the maintainer 
kfreebsd-i386 is not present in the architecture list set by the maintainer 
mips is not present in the architecture list set by the maintainer 
mipsel is not present in the architecture list set by the maintainer 
powerpc is not present in the architecture list set by the maintainer 
s390x is not present in the architecture list set by the maintainer 
sparc is not present in the architecture list set by the maintainer 

many packages that have been successfully built with the v3 won't build anymore against v4, so the rationale is "use 4 on amd64 and i386, switch to v3 for other archs".

I don't know if you have an hint for building them against v4 (removing the package from ftpmaster will let the package reach testing I know)

Thanks!
