I am not really all that familiar with ppc, and the usual debian politic
with regard to kernel is to build most stuff as modules that the user
can load afterward. Is this not enough for the imac/ibook case ?

Of course, it is always better for the user to roll his own kernel, so
he can configure it to his heart content, using make-kpkg and the
kernel-patch-2.4.20-powerpc package.
