Please keep the discussion on the mailing list, and also don't top post.
xserver-xorg-legacy does exist in the repo, and I have it installed on
my machine:
ed@godel:~$ apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-legacy
xserver-xorg-legacy:
Installed: 2:1.20.8-2
Candidate: 2:1.20.8-2
Version table:
*** 2:1.20.8-2 500
500 http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports unstable/main
powerpc Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Moreover here is the actual file in the repository [1].
Yes, the r128 server is not available in the repository. I have just
built it, you can download it at [2] or I think Adrian may kindly
build it so it arrives in the repo for you soon. It was only recently
dropped so hopefully it's not too late to get it reinstated.
[1] http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/pool-powerpc/main/x/xorg-server/xserver-xorg-legacy_1.20.8-2_powerpc.deb
