I fully agree.
So, I made the first step for ppc64 and added it to grub-installer [1].
I checked the partition sizes in partman-auto for powerpc and ppc64 and they
are 8 MiB for all non-Mac platforms. So, I guess we can just increase the
minimum partition size for Mac/NewWorld from 1 MiB.
Any suggestions for the new size? 8 MiB? 10 MiB?
