Basically, there's no official person responsible of powerpc for
debian-cd. I'd like to have one. Just do whatever you need to get
powerpc working. You can commit your changes in the arch specific
directories/files. If you need changes somewhere else please ask
before. Don't hesitate to ask help here ...
Fix mkisofs if you need it (yes mkisofs is the default one now and the
same is used for all arches).
I'm not familiar with powerpc and I don't have any such beast so I can't
help in that area.
Cheers,
