As m68k is not a release architecture, I don't care much what goes
in debian/config/m68k (well, it had better not break gencontrol.py).
Whatever the m68k porters come up with is fine.
If there is an initramfs-supporting bootloader for Atari now, you
could drop a whole lot of built-in stuff. But let me guess, does
that 4 MB limit include the initramfs too?
