If 215-8 was working successfully, finding the faulty commit would
indeed be very helpful. If you know how to use git bisect, you could use
that to determine the commit. This will be a lengthy process though and
probably not something you want to do on a live system.

Unfortunately snapshots.debian.org [1] doesn't seem to have any sparc64
binaries which would have simplified that process somewhat, as you could
have quickly installed older versions. And we don't have any sparc64
porter boxes :-/
