The Debian/HPPA porters recently had a discussion[1] about the future of the port. We reached the consensus that, due to limited resources and end-of-life hardware, we should no longer spend our energy on maintaining an official debian port, or creating our own "stable" releases. Instead, we will focus our efforts on maintaining an installable/useable "unstable" distribution, likely making use of the debian-ports infrastructure. To that end, I'd like to request that hppa be removed from testing. This by no means reduces our commitment to the support life of the current stable release (lenny), which will still be maintained for at least 1 more year.
