We as the sparc64 porters would still appreciate to have the package
fixed though. Especially since - as you mentioned yourself - pygtk
still has many reverse dependencies. We just want to fix as many
packages on sparc64 as possible so that we're absolutely ready
to turn it into a release architecture when Oracle finally ships
the hardware :).

So, if you cannot be bothered to do the upload yourself, I'd be
happy to NMU this package to get this issue resolved :).

Thanks,
Adrian
