The current powerpc module .deb is 8Mo of size, compressed. I guess you
don't need all of them at boot time though.

Mmm, i am not all that experienced in kernel-module interaction, but
from experience, i can say that using the modules which were not built
using the same kernel configuration than the kernel, is a recipe for
disqster. But you go ahead, try them out, install the powerpc-small
kernel package, together with the -powerpc kernel, and tell me if it
works.
BTW, i managed to restore the importants things of my lost harddisk, so
i may make a kernel upload soon. The only problem i currently have is
that the System.map link making stuff complains about
System.map-2.4.22-powerpc already existing when upgrading (or simply
replacing) the kernel-image package, another kernel-package bug most
probably.
