pmac-fdisk came from a source package made a long time ago by a m68k
oriented person who made an incorrect assumption, I replaced this with
mac-fdisk a number of months ago, but powerpc hasn't had a new
boot-floppies build since then.

AFAIK that package has always been broken and I should know because I was
the one that bootstrapped the first glibc 2.1 based incarnation of
Debian/PowerPC.
