Some architectures have comparatively slow build daemons, yet build many different kernel flavors. This means that build times are sometimes in excess of a day. Therefore, we release the architectures which are available, which also happen to be the major ones.

I can't tell when the sparc update will be ready, most of the other ones should be on security.debian.org by now.
