Thanks very much for stepping up as porter, you have my vote ! However I need to mention that the specific ppc/mono issue is in fact pretty interesting. The long thread is on debian-powerpc@l.d.o but the short version is that this issue only happen because we build the ppc32 mono version on a ppc64 kernel, I know that since I did debug this issue. I have not heard from the ppc64el porters, but I suspect ppc64 will not be a release arch. So you need to take into consideration that for powerpc to remain a release arch, one need minimal working ppc64 port. Could we solve the situation of ppc64 for Stretch, could it be moved to official release arch ? -M
