I have updated the chroots manually now as a workaround.

Could you trigger a binNMU for all the affected Perl packages?

My first analysis shows that the issue must be in setup-all-dchroots as
manually passing "-a powerpc" to the debootstrap call fixes the issue.

If someone has the nerves and time to debug bash code, please have a look here:
