Sorry, Adrian, but you can't have it both ways. Either you support small
systems or you don't. Debian's documentation says of m68k:
This architecture covers Amigas and ATARIs having a Motorola 680x0
processor for x>=2; with MMU. However, the port is still active and
available for installation even if not a part of this official stable
release and might be reactivated for future releases.

There is no mention of fast emulators. Yet that's all you're targeting
now.
Debian needs to fix this, so that those users/developers who are
interested in small systems can colaborate effectively without being
mislead.
