Sorry to have to state it, but Frans has just stated some facts and

There's no http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/binary-m68k/

The m68k architecture is not currently in testing. That's a fact.

We should... however we're volunteers and you're welcome to help if you're
not happy with the current situation.

There's no secrets. Check out the debian-cd package, it contains
everything needed to build yourself updated CD images.

solve before CD images are a real problem.

That said, maybe that Steve can build weely images based on sid for m68k.
