Unknown to most developers, there is already a commercial distribution
for m68k made by Eagle, which is basically standard Debian with new
installation routines. I think their web adress is www.eagle-cp.com.
The most important things to watch out for is to have source available
if a package requires it (most do, see the GPL for exact conditions),
and to check packages in non-free whether they might be included on a
CD.
