Andreas, the powerpc 64bit archive may or may not be of interest, but since it
is perfectly ok to install a native powerpc 64bit system from the 32bit
installer, would your effort not be better invested in adding functionality to
the normal 32bit installer to select a 64bit archive and install that ? 

I mean you can already cross-debootstrap, so it should work relatively easily,
without needing much patching.
