Well, it is up to you to decide whether you want the problem to be fixed
soon or not :) Since you seem to be the only one that reported this bug
so far, it will be hard for us to debug without you helping (the other
person who replied to the bug has unrelated problems). Waiting weeks or
months is not a problem at all for us.

Debian cares much more about non-x86 architectures than many other
distributions. However, since few people have powerpc, it takes time to
debug when you need to find somebody with knowledge to reproduce the
problem first :(
