It does fail to build against all arches except i386, alpha and
powerpc. It used to build against m68k, but that's broken now, and
doesn't seem fixable. I've removed it from the Arch field in the
control file, but the old version is holding it back. I filed a bug
against ftp.debian.org (#116210), but apparently to no avail.

The current version of drscheme is pretty broken wrt porting, but v200
should (hopefully) fix some of these issues, but it isn't quite
complete at this stage.

I agree :)
