IMHO, missing explicit padding is a generic portability issue, not purely
m68k-related. Besides, the padding exists in the other structures.

That's a minor technicality. Google shows me the (simple) solution is
dh-make-perl refresh --source-format='3.0 (quilt)'
(http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/howto/quilt.html#the_post_modern_way__3_0__quilt__)
but you probably already know that.

so Debian doesn't have to carry these patches.
