That's the architecture of your kernel. If your machine is capable of running
64-bit code, debian-installer will install a 64-bit kernel. Your userland, i.e.
all applications, are still 32-bit.
See the output of:
$ dpkg --print-architecture

You need to add ppc64 as a Multi-Arch architecture by adding the following
line to your sources.list:
deb [arch=ppc64] http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/ unstable main
deb [arch=ppc64] http://incoming.ports.debian.org/buildd/ unstable main
deb [arch=ppc64] http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/ unreleased main
All other deb lines (not deb-src lines) need to have [arch=powerpc] added.
Then install the debian-ports-archive-keyring package and run:
# dpkg --add-architecture ppc64
Then:
# apt update
# apt install openjdk-8-jre:ppc64 openjdk-8-jdk:ppc64
You could also install Debian for ppc64 natively. But my ppc64 patch
for debian-installaer has not been merged yet, unfortunately [1]. So
we cannot build d-i for ppc64 at the moment, unfortunately.
