one way could be to find the debian-1 version on the
debian package page and download it manually, if
it is there (maybe in testing...), install it with
dpkg -i *debian-1.deb before running the apt-get
as before.
maybe set your pins to testing for apt and do
the above way with your unstable install of the
plug in itself, is another way.
a third way is go to the vlc webpages. they have
ppc source patches for linux, i think. of course
you need to compile it and you need build tools for
that. but if you really like the latest version
that is the way to get it... (they may also have
binaries too, but older probably)
