I also maintain some information on this page, as I really like the ease of use of wiki.debian.org:
todo for d-i powerpc
- full install debian-edu/etch-test
- floppy install oldworld
- test dailys with 32mb on newworld
- report memory limits for d-i powerpc for the manual
- check subarch/model overview in manual

issues in d-i powerpc

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=394209 (g3 newworld doesnt boot with 32mb)
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=394970 (serial console for ibm servers)

adding patches with quilt to a package
- add quilt to build-depends
- create debian/patches/ and put the patches there
cd debian/patches ; ls > series
add "QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches quilt push -a || test $$? = 2" to the configure target in debian/rules
add "QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches quilt pop -a -R || test $$? = 2" to the clean target in debian/rules
enjoy
adding more patches later
- export QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches
- quilt new 200-etc-olsrd.patch
- quilt add Makefile.inc
- vi Makefile.inc
- quilt refresh
svn, knowing the diff before updating
- svn diff --revision HEAD
- svn up
