I've just uploaded an NMU of libvisual to the DELAYED/2-day queue on gluck, which works around the issue of the altivec detection causing gstreamer to segv on some powerpc machines without altivec. Which in turn breaks the gnome desktop on these machines. The workaround simply completely disables the altivec detection.
With this workaround #404876 and #407153 can either be closed or downgraded && retitled to please enable/fix altivec detection.
