These two both look fixed in the latest version, and should probably be closed.

Not sure about this one, I don't have access to a powerpc to test on. (not yet
a developer, either -- so I can't use debian.org machines)..
[later]
Although, looking at the .diff.gz, there is a patch to the powerpc machine
descriptions in there, so it could be fixed. Someone will have to check
with a powerpc porter, though..
[later still]
Looking at the ftp site, there's an emacs20 20.5a-2 package there, so this
bug would appear to be fixed.
