I agree.  While I don't want to get buried with debian porting issues 
on this list, I'm happy for Linux/Alpha discussions to wander at will.  
Once debian (or anyone else) has a viable Alpha dist, they will 
undoubtedly create their own list(s).  Until that point I think those 
issues are fine here as they may help Red Hat as well.
