It was me and you are right: I did not test 0.0.8 before uploading, because

 (a) I have previously built apt 0.0.6 which I did test extensively
     before uploading and did not find any m68k related problems (so
     I thought there should be no problems in future releases)

 (b) it is a package for experimental.

I have tested the .deb with lintian (almost every package that I've built
so far produced warings or even errors - so I ignore most of them) and
installed it with dpkg. I don't have time to test every package that I
build - if that is not enough, I will stop building packages.

All I did was downloading the 0.0.8 source and calling debbuild.sh - I did
not change a singe bit in the source.

As i've already said: I did so with 0.0.6 and so I thought there should be
no problems with future releases. Anyway, I will not build any packages
from expermintal any longer.
