Not sure if I'm one to go by as I've yet to get Linux on an IBM
PowerPC system and I'm not a Debian developer but...
a precompiled kernel with nfsroot and kernel level IP config support
(bootp and/or dhcp, somefolks may use rarp I don't) would go a long
way for me.
failing that access to a machine of the correct architecture to run
the build on *may* be enough (I've built alot of kernels but not for
this archetecture so my milage may vary :)
