Ok ok, its subarches, not flavours. But my general understanding was right?

m68k is exactly mentioned twice...

na... during the build all *.bin files, linux* *1440*, etc are moved into
$release and picked from there to be moved to subdirectories (on all arches
but i386 probably). The other arches use subarch/images-1.44 for the (once)
1440 files, when they are in images-1.44 they are renamed, some shell magic
removes the 1440.

For slink it was mac/debian, why not just mac/, atari/, amiga/?
slink hade some scripts for the ftp maintainers, telling about the directory
layout. Is this still needed? I think its all explained in the tar.gz files
and I could find anything similar for other arches. Anyway, as they are now,
they are completely outdated.
