It sounds to me like a mirror problem, perhaps something prevents you from downloading from ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu, or its powerpc archive is out of date.
Actually, across both ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu and debian.mirrors.pair.com, the results were the same. Both error upon attempting to install initrd-tools package when sid is selected with the expert-powerpc, and both succeed when install-powerpc is selected (no option for selecting sarge or sid is presented in this option). I have repeated the tests with today's image (20041011) for the business card iso, and the results are the same.
