If the package only FTBFS on m68k go and ask some m68k porters to investigate in the problem, or, if you have a debian account, ask debian-admin to install the build-deps on the according porter machine. (see http://db.debian.org/machines.cgi for more details). I CC'd [EMAIL PROTECTED], so the get aware of your problem.
