Sorry, but we don't care. m68k has now missed 3 Debian releases running. That's over 6 years! We should not continue pandering to the insane idea that m68k is ever going to release with Debian again. This package has been RC-buggy since approximately forever and should just be dropped from the archive. Providing convenience for the vanishingly-small number of remaining m68k users is not a good enough excuse.
There has always been and always will be people who are hostile towards non-mainstream. Luckily for Debian, Steve is in the minority. All of the other GNU/Linux distros have become commercial entities which attempt to distringuish themselves from each other gratuitously, but hopefully that will never happen to Debian.
Other people in Debian recognize that supporting multiple architectures is desirable and improves the overall quality of the project.
