Your subject is a bit misleading. You are talking about an installation of
Debian powerpc (32-Bit) on a 64-bit-capable machine.

Yes, as announced by DSA, the powerpc buildds have been shut down:

We are currently in the process to properly move powerpc to Debian
Ports. In the meantime, you can either reinstall your machine with
Debian ppc64 from Debian Ports [1] or wait until the transition is
finished.
Jessie on powerpc is no longer being updated and supported. You
will have to switch to Debian unstable.
