Must have been debian-powerpc... for general powerpc topics, we used to

Giving up m68k-build was mainly due to deteriorating signal/spam ratio
there, as well as people getting repeatedly unsubscribed by the list
software. Moving the port administrative discussion to -68k may have
attracted about two new people to get more involved, so there isn't much
regrouping. Developers are a limited resource :-(
