No, this is wrong.
The (operating system) architectures sparc and sparc64 have only limited
connection to the CPU architectures sun4{,c,d,m,u,v}:
On sun4, sun4c, sun4m CPUs you always run sparc (v7, v8, supersparc).
On sun4u and sun4v you can run sparc (v8plus or v7/v8/supersparc)
or sparc64 (v9).
The sparc userland is 32-bit, the sparc64 userland is 64-bit, always.
The sparc userland on (recent) Debian/sparc is 32-bit v8plus,
whereas the Debian/sparc64 port on debian-ports.org has 64-bit v9.

Yes, see the other eMail. This patch must be reverted.
