    Unfortunately the situation of Debian for Powerpc isn't very clear.
There is a split between 32-bit, 64-bit, little-endian and big-endian,
plus the powerpcspe architecture from Freescale, and I think most of
these arches, if not all, are not longer official Debian arches, but
have only the status of "ports". AFAIK, IBM only supports Linux for the
most recent 64 bit arch.
