There not much done by now.
AFAIK, the set of ppc packages have only been used by Klee Dienes and I.
Basically, all you have to do, is:
1/ Install dpkg.
2/ replace the rpm package by the corresponding deb package when possible.
(rpm -e xxx ; dpkg -i xxx.deb)
(make sure not to mess up sysvinit, etc...)
3/ remove rpm: 'rpm -e rpm'.
And you'll end up with a system '10% RedHat, 90% Debian'.

(yes, this 'ppc install procedure' is short, but not only there's not much
done by now, but it also has been 3 months since I didn't worked on
debian/ppc since my friend who owned the machine needed it for 'real
work'. I should be able to have access to another ppc soon hopefully.
