A bit off-topic, but since we're discussing packaging on Debian & co: 
Hamish, do you know what is going on for grass 6.4.3 ? I see that it 
hasn't migrated to testing, yet, because of failure to build on ia64:

http://release.debian.org/migration/testing.pl?package=grass

Any idea what the trouble is ? In the build logs I see stuff like:

Status: gcc -E      -DPACKAGE="grasslibs" -DPACKAGE="grasslibs" 
-I/«PKGBUILDDIR»/dist.ia64-unknown-linux-gnu/include -U __GNUC__ -dD 
"-Dinline=" "-D__inline__=" "-D__extension__=" "-D_Bool=uint8_t" 
"-D__const=const" "-D__asm__(x)=" "-D__asm(x)=" "-DCTYPESGEN=1"
