While digging through d-i, I've noticed some signs of ppc64 port

Do we actually need it and is anybody going to support/maintain it?

It's been added in D-I on request of the ppc64 porters, but we have not
heard anything from them for the last 2-3 years. I've looked at the
ppc64 mailing list some time last year and to me it looked like the
initiative was completely dead.

We've always made it clear that ppc64 would have to be maintained by
the porters. This has not been done. I currently see no keep ppc64

support in D-I.
