I dunno, but m68k *is* behind.
There's a bug in kdelibs which is m68k-specific (a crash in 'meinproc'),
which needs to be tracked down before kde can go into testing. This
exhibits itself during building of kdeedu. All kde builds are
currently delayed until the latest qt package is built on m68k (the
only arch it currently needs). That's building right now, and has
been for about 12 hours...
It'll probably be days before we even have verification that
the bug still exists. This is the last genuine bug which has been
keeping most of kde out of testing since openldap2 went in (the others
are NMU-fixed). If it does still exist, there will likely have to be
more kde rebuilds to test fixes. kdebase apparently takes upwards of
100 hours (!) to build on m68k...
So m68k has become the bottleneck for KDE to get into testing. If a
concerted effort is made to deal with that, it will probably slow down
the building of everything else on m68k, of course...
I'm sure it will catch up eventually, but it does seem to be behind
right now.
