Note that the bug is with util-linux, not powerpc-utils. The clock.8 man belongs to powerpc-utils, but was claimed by util-linux due to a typo. Are you *sure* that this bug is still present in unstable? What version of util-linux is installed / being installed? Version 2.11l-4 in unstable has this bug (#116985) marked closed, and it fixed the problem for me. 'apt-get install util-linux/unstable' and see if that fixes your problem. If you still have a conflict, file a bug against util-linux.
