Do I need to turn on powerpc udeb building in linux-kernel-di now?

If you can get it back in shape in the next few days, I think we could perhaps still manage a release before Jan 1st. If it slips to the middle of january, I will be away a week around the 6th-14th (limited time for d-i them), which won't be good. We seem to be in good shape otherwise, though it needs a lot more testing. -- see shy jo
