I'm not too happy either to become aware of that issue in this way - but
well, I think his cited words "debian support for powerpc is dead or
almost so" and his recommendation people to change away from debian do
way more harm than the images not building the images for a month, and I
also don't really see any ground for these words.

Of course, best that could happen now would be if someone just takes up
the loose ends, and tries to fix the issues - and I hope someone just
does.
