.15 will bring a non-negligible amount of change to powerpc, going from
ARCH=ppc|ppc64 to ARCH=powerpc, which may entail modifications in the
boot-wrapper and kernel with builtin initrds, and maybe some subarch being
broken or partially broken. But we are/will be working on the -rc releases in
experimental, so hopefully this will work out fast, apus may only be there a
couple of weeks after the .15 release though.

Should be nice, i think.
