Bug#754093: debian-installer: ppc64el: do NOT switch to vmlinu*z*
Hi,

Please do NOT apply the vmlinu*z* patch. Just ignore it.
Some of the ppc64el target platforms can only boot vmlinu*x*
(no support for compressed kernels).
Really sorry for taking your time.
(the build-dep on grub-ieee1275-bin is still needed, as explained)
