Ok, I agree I should have put the y2k fixes in Incoming/ sooner, but I
just didn't want to put them in a public place too soon...
After that, I've been pretty busy with real life (I moved to another
city) and I'm just recovering.
I've also been slown down by having to wait for non-i386 recompiles.

I posted on debian-68k on Nov. 24th. asking for a recompile
(http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-68k-9911/msg00175.html).
I also posted on Nov 25th, Nov 26th and Dec 7th.
That's been 18 days ago since the first; enough time to recompile a dozain
of packages.
To avoid this problems in the future, I'd like to be able to recompile
non-i386 packages myself.
I'm just missing accounts on alpha & m68k machines running slink. (I can
use my account on xia02 for sparc)
