Uploading them to etch-m68 is not possible: it is a binary-only upload
of different source version than the one in the Source file.
And we should stay identical to etch if we hope to be merged again.
However I will be able to upload most of them to the 4.0r1 update.

ISTR that it was cross-compiled. However it use gcc-3.3. Are the gcc-3.3
cross-compiler available somewhere ? I would very much like to install
in my distcc setup.

This is done with the caveats of the mysql build-deps, of linux-2.6 and
of debian-installer related packages.
Should I build the debian-installer related packages ? Is there plan for
a m68k d-i update ?
Finally: etch 4.0r1 will be released soon. This would be a great time to
start security update, so that we are in a good position to ask for
inclusion in 4.0r2. We need to set it up as soon as possible.
