Comments/Problems:

The kernel powerpc64 kernel (linux-image-2.6-powerpc64) could not be
installed because the initramfs build failed. 

I'd be happy to help trouble shoot this problem as far as my skills
allow, but unfortunately I may not have access to this machine after
April 1.

Fixed once the powerpc d-i builds are okay. Tested with 20060329 and
it completed just fine.
