IIRC this was used:
- as cross compiler to build the bootloaders and other native
utilities (though probably only for TOS, not MiNT?)
⇒ using the dpkg arch to fit into the usual cross-toolchain
creation system
- as dpkg natively on FreeMiNT
Not sure whether the latter has received any attention. When
I last used it, about a decade ago, it could use some, but it
generally was usable.
Perhaps someone here or on the wider m68k-linux channels has
any input?

How's that for dedication. -- Wouter, about my Debian/m68k revival
