I'd like to hear what the porters say. I currently cannot imagine that
there is any use for openal/freealut and reverse depending packages on
m68k machines. While I assume that there are soundcards for m86k, which
can produce stereo sound, I'd like to hear if somebody knows about
multi-channel soundscards, which would/could work.

Therefore my question: how about adding openal to p-a-s, and remove all
reverse depends on m86k? I think this could help this port to keep up
with the other archs.

Otherwise I'd be more than happy if some porter could provide a patch
for this FTBFS: http://bugs.debian.org/362590
