The ssh part: yes, and that's documented in the release notes:
<https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/powerpc/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#openssh>.

The console part: I don't think so; this is probably a bug in wheezy.
The last time I had that sort of problem, it was due to an omission from
the file /etc/securetty (list of devices that root may log in through).
But in wheezy that file does include hvc0.
