The wanna-build CVS is public - it allows anonymous pserver, though I
don't remember the account name.

You don't really want my chroot.  I got absolutely fed up with "missing
build dep" type bugs - enough port maintainers are handling that that I
do not consider it my obligation to.  It has all sorts of crap
installed.

There is no base.tgz in unstable.  You need to use 'debootstrap', which
I think works on PowerPC now - although I'm not entirely sure of that.
