You could use a different control file for m68k, or apply a patch for it. We
used to do something similar for xfree for some time, since dpkg or
something else gave back wrong information, and we got this comma problem
when building the libc5 debs.
Check http://buildd.debian.org/andrea/m68k/source-dependencies-stable.gz
and look for *XFREE-LIBC5-PATCH
If you want something like this implemented for your package, you could
write the patch and send it to Roman, to add it to the source-depends for
the buildds. If Roman has to write _and_ implemente it, it might take a
little longer until its in.
