I am wondering if there is a transition ongoing from 'powerpc' to 'ppc' or vice versa ?


These packages are using 'ppc'

/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/ppc/libjawt.so  openjdk-6-dbg

/usr/lib/gcc-snapshot/java-1.5.0-gcj-4.5/jre/lib/ppc/libjawt.so   gcc-snapshot

/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-gcj-4.4/jre/lib/ppc/libjawt.so            gcj-4.4-jre-headless

/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/ppc/libjawt.so                openjdk-6-jre-headless


These packages are using 'powerpc'

/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-gcj-4.3-1.5.0.0/jre/lib/powerpc/libjawt.so java-gcj-compat-headless

/usr/lib/kaffe/jthreads/jre/lib/powerpc/libjawt.so                 kaffe-jthreads

/usr/lib/kaffe/pthreads/jre/lib/powerpc/libjawt.so                 kaffe-pthreads



The openjdk-6 package is using a redefinition/mapping of the architecture in debian/rules:

[...]
arch_map    := alpha=alpha arm=arm armel=arm amd64=amd64 hppa=parisc i386=i586 lpia=i586 m68k=m68k mips=mips mipsel=mipsel powerpc=ppc sparc=sparc
s390=s390 ia64=ia64
[...]

Where can I read more about the reason for that?
In what case do I have to use 'ppc' instead of 'powerpc'?

Thanks
