Well, then you should rather post to debian-m68k@lists.debian.org I guess...

potato is currently in 'frozen' state, there is no 'BETA' state in Debian.
What ware you afraid of WRT stability? I've been using potato for about a
year and haven't had major problems with it, can't remember any real problem
in the last few months.

You also need

ftp://sunsite.auc.dk/pub/os/linux/680x0/v2.2/linux-2.2.10.tar.gz
or
ftp://sunsite.auc.dk/pub/os/linux/680x0/v2.3/linux-2.3.47.tar.gz
(but as you're concerned about stability... :)
You'll have to build the kernel yourself.
Maybe you could also take a kernel-package from potato, don't know about the
dependencies.

You mean with the one you have? No. PPC and m68k aren't binary compatible.
