Okay. We can probably get someone else involved in Debian/m68k to
run it on real hardware later. (The problems here are that those
machines aren’t necessarily otherwise idle, and for VMs the host
in addition is a shared medium… but we can get some sort of initial
guess values on the VM and get “real” values on the slower bare-
metal ones later… although running it on them should probably
involve killing e.g. cron beforehand?)

It’s running (slowly) at the moment, and I hope we won’t have to
do this for every upload?
