I can tell you right now that opengl is a no go and probably won't be for a
quite a while. See, there are no proprietary graphics drivers for ppc, since
ati and nvidia only give x86 love, and while I do have open source ati
drivers running fine, compositing and all, the mesa drivers do not yet
support opengl 2.0 instructions, which cinelerra require to enable
accelerated playback. The proprietary drivers do support opengl 2.0<=, which
is how many people are able to take advantage of this feature in cinelerra,
but I, and others in my situation cannot until mesa supports opengl 2.
Fortunately, the newest development version may support opengl 2.1 very
soon, but I'm not ready to run a devel version of mesa just for cinelerra. I
may try when I have time to watch things fail and fix them again :), or when
ubuntu stable runs the latest mesa drivers (read: never).

As for dma:

/dev/hda:
multcount    =  0 (off)
IO_support   =  0 (default 16-bit)
unmaskirq    =  1 (on)
using_dma    =  1 (on)
keepsettings =  0 (off)
readonly     =  0 (off)
readahead    = 256 (on)
geometry     = 16383/255/63, sectors = 156301488, start = 0

I'll get a README.txt ready in a little while.

Also, by the debian maintainer do you mean Andraz Tori?
Given the discussion about including cinelerra in ubuntu (and debian
proper), I can't think of anyone else you could mean. Searching for
cinelerra in either ubuntu or debian package lists yields nothing.

Anyway, I'll try and get that to you as soon as I can,

I think that cinelerra will take some time to enter in ubuntu.
I really dunno about creating a perfect debian/ubuntu package, but the
cinelerra debian maintainer could help.

Anyway, for now, you could write the dependencies you installed in your
machine to run cinelerra in a README.txt, and then periodically generate
the
package using checkinstall, as you did.
;)

Remember that you should check if your HD is w/ dma activated (really
important) and if your graphic card is working w/ opengl enabled (nice to
have).
