I tried the 2019-04-11 debian-10.0-powerpc-NETINST-1.iso on a PowerMac G4
Silver (PowerMac3,4).
The image was burned to a CD-R and booted by Open Firmware.
A normal install was performed by keeping everything not otherwise mentioned as
default.
Proprietary firmwares were not manually added.

You have
vmlinux -> vmlinux-5.9.0-5-powerpc64
But there is no actual file named "vmlinux-5.9.0-5-powerpc64" in the directory.

I tried it this afternoon on my PowerMac G5 - PowerMac7,3. Works great! I
