I have two old PowerMacs lent me specificly for the purpose of
improving the Debian installation, and a somewhat faster PowerMac clone
which I can also use. Accounts on these machines can only be made
available to people who have valid Cambridge University credentials, which
once included quite a few developers, and still includes Matthew Vernon.

That's not to say that anyone other than me requires access if there's an
automatic builder which uploads things.
