Certainly.  Just wish I'd done it sooner.  In any case, I've notified
debian-release, and presuming we can work out the remaining issues, I
think things may be OK.

OK, I'll install this in a new upload, perhaps tomorrow.

One place to ask questions would probably be debian-hppa
(http://www.debian.org/ports/hppa), and there's also the build log.
In addition, I may be able to run some code on an hppa machine if we
can figure out something appropriate.

The patches should have made it.  You can see the exact patch in the
new source package in
debian/patches/improve-stack-direction-test.diff.  It should be very
close to the upstream version.
