Oh, my bad. I was not aware this was the current state of affairs.
It is not documented at https://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/,
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/ppc64el/,
https://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/inst/pmac, etc.
Maybe it would be a good idea to clearly state it somewhere. A
prescriptive recipe would be most helpful. A prescriptive recipe
provides the exact steps someone should perform.
