Thank you very much for your quick response. Unfortunately I can't test 
the image myself very much as I don't have the hardware.

I have debugged together with another developer this evening and we 
discovered that the old code was not only missing support for an entire 
class of usb keyboards, but was also plain broken.
Everything was actually handled by a general case ("if we have found 
nothing, let's just assume there is an usb keyboard anyway").

We think we have fixed these errors and the code now works for powerpc.

I've uploaded a new iso to the same location [1]. I hope you are willing 
to test once again. Please mail the results to 280122@bugs.debian.org 
again.

I don't know if you can read C, but you can find the relevant source at 
[2] a diff against the previous version is at [3].
I've also added extra debugging statements. If it still does not work for 
you I'd appreciate it if you could give us these in full (using the same 
grep).
