I could probably be accused of that, I'll try and do better in the
future.

FWIW, the current debian-dri-powerpc contains the list of drivers
commonly used on powerpc. If anyone is using one of the other drivers,
they can certainly file a bug, but it's quite unlikely. If you want to
err on the other side though, anything but the above (and sis, if nobody
fixes the build) should be fine.
