Ok, this still hasn't been done :-\. Are uploads to Mainz still possible
(and are they already automatically forwarded to master), or should I put
them onto master directly myself, or should I just wait a little more?

Juergen already asked this, and I'd like to see some discussion about it.
Should the changes files we produce only reflect differences relative to
the corresponding "PC" packages? That would mean many packages don't require
any changes at all, and for those that do require changes those changes
should be sent to the corresponding PC maintainer to merge them into the
generic sources - so in the long term these packages won't require any
m68k specific changes either. So, I don't see any sense in doing this.
Of course, the PC maintainers should not just get the diffs, but also
a few lines stating what was necessary to make the packages compile
and run on m68k. Those few lines should maybe already be written in the
format of dchanges(5) so that they just cut&paste it into their changes
files. But why m68k specific changes file?
