Hi -

On closer inspection, #654506 is already fixed in wheezy's version
1:3.4.5-1 -- the "waf" file was removed by upstream. There is still a
"wscript" file but it contains no binary code and is not used in the
build process. So I don't think we need any repack.

I've created a git branch "3.4debianfixes" with the fix for #674386 in.
<http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-multimedia/supercollider.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/3.4debianfixes>
I don't have a machine with the right arch to test for sure, however.
