AFAIK, binNMUs do not change the source package, so how would your
proposal work?

Thanks for the information that this bug is fixed with gcc-4.1, so this
will go away when debian switches to gcc-4.1 per default.

But, TBH, I really don't see much point in having openal binaries for
m86k. I mean, are there really audio hardware for m86k which would
support 3d sound? which reverse depends of openal are usable at all on
m86k? Wouldn't it make more sense to add openal (and perhaps the
libgl/libglu implementations as well) to p-a-s, so that those packages,
including their reverse depends, won't be built on m86k any longer? I
think this might help this arch to keep up with unstable.
