I just added them for completeness...

Could you have told us that before? As said in the mail to you
personally, I would have set my priorities different if I knew it
before, and also I would have urgend others sooner to pick up some of
the outstanding packages...

This is bad :-(
So the first Debian/68k will be with a core-dumping dialog, an emacs20
that doesn't match its emacs20-el companion, and with bootdisks that
are 4 months old and have several problems. (And all you need is in
Incoming on master...)
Those m68k CDs will have to repressed anyway...

Frankly, I'd more like working m68k CDs than
available-exactly-at-the-minute CDs :-)
