OK. Apologies for missing your mail; it doesn't appear to have got to me
here at work. I'll see what I can do with your guidance.

OK, which files? Send me a tar file and instructions on where to put the
contents and I'll patch slink_cd to do it for you.

I'm happy to do the stuff myself, so long as I know somebody will be able
to check them.

Fine, understood. All should be OK if you can give me the .info files you
need and some instructions. I'll build a pair of CD images tonight on
cdimage.debian.org and tell you when they're done. If you can grab them
and test them tomorrow then all should be OK.
In terms of the missing/broken packages for m68k, where are we? I'm about
to do another run for depends checking...
