mkay, this looks bad to my eyes.
Does this mean that there is no more support for these variants in 
upstream, also? I have a PowerBook G4, so I would like to still have a 
kernel for it :(

I don't think I have enough time to maintain an unofficial package for 
this arch. Nor do I have the skills necessary to hack into the ppc 
kernel code.

Is there any chance someone might convince you to still maintain this 
subarch?
