This is interesting. While FreeBSD build cluster build sdb package
from sparc64, I don't think anyone actually played it, so we may
have a problem. Can you describe it in short? As I understand,
there's separate package for sdb bigendian models - what's the
source for those? Patched original models? If yes, how to patch them?

Are man pages required for all debian packages?

Nice, gotta check this out. The port is there but seems like it needs
updating.
