The source package goffice does not build from source on ppc64. To make 
it build I added ppc64 in debian/rules:

---

override_dh_auto_test:
	## https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748504
ifeq ($(DEB_BUILD_ARCH),$(filter $(DEB_BUILD_ARCH),powerpc ppc64el 
ppc64))
	@echo "======== will not abort on test(s) failure ========"
	-dh_auto_test
else
	dh_auto_test
endif

---

The source is then built successfully on ppc64.

The binary libgoffice-0.10-dev from this source is important for the 
build of gnumeric which couldn't be built on ppc64 for a very long time.

Please fix.
