 I think the error "no keymaps described" comes from an bad space at the end of 
powerpc/mac_

Please test this: (please test it also on m68k!!!)


#!/usr/bin/perl -w

my $arch = `dpkg --print-installation-architecture`;
chomp $arch;

if (($arch eq 'powerpc') || ($arch eq 'm68k')) {
       my $subarch;
       if ($arch eq 'powerpc') {
            my $line = `grep ^machine /proc/cpuinfo`;
            abort ($defs, "No \"machine\" field in /proc/cpuinfo") if $line eq 
'';
            $subarch = lc substr ($line, 11);
        } elsif ($arch eq 'm68k') {
            my $line = `grep ^Model: /proc/hardware`;
            abort ($defs, "No \"Model\" field in /proc/hardware") if $line eq 
'';
            $subarch = lc substr ($line, 8);
        }
        $subarch =~ s/ .*//;
        chop($subarch);
        $subarch = 'mac'        if $subarch =~ 
m/^macintosh|powermac|powerbook|power|imac|powermac1/;
        $subarch = 'mvme'       if $subarch eq 'motorola';

        $arch = "$arch/$subarch";

        print "Arch ist: $arch \n\n";   # remove this line after testing
}
