I believe you are missing 'silo' invocation as a post-update step for sparc, it needs to be run after the configuration in /etc/silo.conf is changed. I'll be back from vacation next week and can test updated script on sparc. Having modified packages will definitely help, as then multiple people can test it - cc'ing your message to debian-sparc, in case someone else is interested in giving it a go.
