Ah, but you built the binaries yourself. The PowerPC binaries are
(generally) built by a build-daemon, with little or no manual
intervention. When I check the PowerPC deb with ``dpkg
--contents'', I see the following:
drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2000-10-30 08:39:12 ./

You'll notice that there's both a compface.1.gz and a compface.1
in the man1 directory.
When I tried building the packages myself, I ran into the
following, which appears to be the problem:

rm -rf debian/tmp/usr/man

Notice that the build process asks whether the existing compressed
file should be overwritten twice -- once for compface.1 and once
for compface.3. It does that because you've compressed the files
manually, in debian/rules, but then debstd tries to compress them
again.
You can fix the problem by either removing your commands to
compress stuff, or adding a ``-c'' flag to stop debstd from
compressing documentation.
