Hmm. It does appear to have been down for months, but I see that some
lenny-backports packages have been updated recently, which may have
confused me.
Should I report that the PowerPC builder(s) seems to be down? Where?

If that would result in it also becoming available to others via lenny-
backports, then yes, please. Note that a number of other packages
might also need to be built as well. I could also build it (them)
myself, or perhaps just moving to testing would be appropriate.
