See, it would be fixed and in the tree already if i had access myself.

As main powerpc porter yes. It doesn't say i would not have tried to fix
partman-prep for example, which is still broken, as i have the hardware for
it, or tried to get the apus 2.6 kernels into .udebs, since i know you will
not spare the time to do it.
Also, i doubt anyone before me was removed svn commit right for such groubds.

Indeed. I have kept my own buildd working for now though, so people always
have a possibility to find a working miboot floppy (haven't have time to do
any check with the 2.6.16 miboot floppies though yet).
