Michael has nicely summarized the most important reasons. For me, the situation is currently very frustrating, I can't upload packages because I lost my GPG key and the new one is still pending for inclusion into the developer keyring.

But I don't think this is powerpc specific. It would still be nice if you reported a bug against the offending package. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper) \ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer CS student, Free Software enthusiast \ XFree86 and DRI project member
