I wonder who did that modification, and i probably pulled it in when
upgrading :/

Ah, it is fixed, Colin Watson did this :/

Arrange for there actually to be a kernel on the powerpc-small boot floppy again. This is slightly moot, though, as we don't have miboot yet so it's
still not bootable ...

powerpc-small root floppy was out of space; split off an asian-root floppy,
the same as we already have for i386. Closes: #246958

Comment out miboot invocation for now; it's still not in the archive.

I wonder if we should not do a miboot upload to non-free and be gone with it. This would mean a debian-installer-non-free or something such. I will see if i
can find again the miboot source package and do the upload.

Amen to that!
