Yes -3 and -5 work, -6 / -7 do not.

However concerning the changes made to fix #736801 (build failures on ia64 and 
sparc), as of Wednesday (2014-01-29) it was announced in
[debian-devel-announce] that ia64 and sparc are no longer release 
architectures.  sparc is apparently still using gcc-4.6 as the default 
compiler, and the kernel in stable does not work.  This means that Britney 
will allow package migrations into Testing regardless if packages for these 
two architectures are broken.

Today it was announced the ia64 architecture was removed from Testing, and is 
likely to be removed from Sid as well "soon".

Issues with ia64 can be ignored now, and under the circumstances sparc is 
questionable.  I think you have the option of using the 2.5.0-5 package
"as it was" if you wish.  I'm not trying to rush a fix here though -- I'm 
mainly mentioning this because I'm wondering from the maintainer point of view 
if the effort to patch the protobuf source specifically for these two 
architectures is worth the effort.

Obviously I didn't know these architecture changes were coming when I filed 
#736801 on the 26th.  ;-)

Thanks.
