It segfaults trying to process it's own documentation, I wanted to
track it down with efence, but that needed a kernel patch and I didn't
want to ruin my 30 day uptime :-)
Don't bother with the non-experimental version, it also requires
libtool, tetex-*, debiandoc2* (also hosed on m68k, due to a suspected
compiler bug), sgml*, sp, etc.

Well lout *should* be available for all architectures, it's just
broken on m68k atm. But dpkg _shouldn't_ depend on all this stuff, it
never use to pre-automake, however when someone decided it would be a
good plan to automake-ized dpkg they seem to have truly FUBARed the
build process.
I personally haven't got the energy to go and track down the problem
with the .tar.gz in experimental, and dpkg releases are so infrequent
I've been even less inclined than usual.

Go to the top level build directory and simply `find . -name
archtable.h', IIRC there's only one occurrence of each missing file,
so there should be no particular problems.
