I would not want to become a Debian/m68k porter, even if there was room
for another one.
Besides that, on a modern host, the emulators run Debian/m68k quite well
despite CONFIG_CRYPTO_DH (console bugs and kernel module bugs
notwithstanding).

I certainly would not assert that "people should" do anything. However, I
do encourage all Linux/m68k users to learn to cross-compile small kernels
and other packages. That's because real m68k hardware has limitations --
no FPU, limited RAM etc. -- which Debian doesn't cater to.
