Great! Count on me to test the next image on various Apple machines.
The installer is still broken on ppc64el when installing on PowerKVM, but it seems that neither Debian's kernel maintainers nor IBM developers upstream care about this problem enough to actually fix it.
Hum ... annoying, but after all, if nobody uses it, at least let's start making powerpc and power64 installers work again.
