Yes, it is useful for other architectures like ia32/amd64.
With it, you e.g. create the bootable images for parisc. For that
it puts together the root file system, the 32- and 64-bit linux kernels and
the native bootloader into one file which can be burnt to CD or booted
via TFTP.
When palo was still in the debian 5.0 it was built for all architectures.

Either one is fine for me.
Maybe it makes more sense if I can become a DM ?
If yes, how?

I did uploaded the palo binary deb package (for hppa) to the unreleased distro.
So, it's there since weeks, but for a debootstrap/debian-cd-installation it
needs to be at least in unstable too.
