Hello Andreas, We have discussed including the ppc64 port again during the d-i IRC meeting last Saturday. I am happy to let you know that we've decided to add support in the d-i repository, with the following conditions: * the d-i team will not maintain ppc64 data * ppc64 will not be allowed to interfere with release plans (i.e. any needed changes have to be submitted in time before any freezes) * in principle we will not do separate uploads for ppc64 changes * ppc64 data may be removed if not maintained So, if these conditions are OK with you, you are welcome to file your patches and remove the wontfix tag from existing bug reports. As we are currently starting preparations for the Beta3 release of d-i, the patches probably will not be applied until after that release has happened.

We'll have to look into that again when we commit the patches. > mkvmlinuz : - 's/powerpc/powerpc ppc64/' in debian/control This is outside of d-i. Please contact the mkvmlinuz maintainer.
