Yes, it was originally added because it was only available on powerpc.

Hmm, this is getting a bit away from how tasksel is really meant to be
used. It would be better to add the test to hw-detect and apt-install
the package on machines that have hardware that support it.

(Assuming that /dev/pmu is created by udev inside d-i, which I can't
check.)
