Sven, please, you know that this is not true. Everything that has been
done for the ppc64 port so far has been announced and discussed on
on public Debian mailing lists and on the Debian BTS and you even took 
part in those discussions.

This week there were very constructive discussions about setting up
a proper environment for the ppc64 port on one of the ppc64 machines 
in Augsburg. I hope that these efforts will be successful.

Altogether, the ppc64 port seems to be in a pretty good shape with 
already 95% of 'unstable' compiled. 

If you want to do something different, please be specific, i.e. please 
propose patches or set up a sample archive to demonstrate what exactly
you want to change.
