That's true, but help is always needed with processing the failed
build list:

http://buildd.debian.org/stats/powerpc-failed.txt

You don't need to be a developer to help; if you can figure out how to
fix a particular package, just file a bug in the BTS against that
package, with a patch.  Most of these should be severity 'serious',
since they don't build from source.

Eek, we're up to 160 now...
