So far as I can tell, this bug has not been looked at by the debian-installer folks.
Is PowerPC simply so unimportant that resources cannot be spared to even *look* at a problem that renders the installer unusable on that hardware?
From my experience
a) there is little point to the business card image. The netinstall is the good option.
b) daily builds are not necessarily supposed to work they are just for developers to share and try out ideas with.
c) try the weekly builds,
d) try testing, do a basic install and add unstable items with testing preferred. Unstable is not guaranteed to do anything except that (do I have this exactly right) certain very severe bugs cause it to reject moving to testing, after a short period of time the item either moves to testing or to experimental or nothing (in that particular version).
I am no DD I have just listened to the lists for a few years.
