Unfortunately this is a major issue when trying to get a system installed using the

is the only platform that still provides a modern ppc64 environment.
Thanks for the praise ;-). It is possible partially through the support of OSUOSL ;-).
I've created my own netboot install images using the latest sid environment, and I am
unable to work around this and get a system installed. While the solution above works
for debootstrap itself, it makes it impossible to get a system installed.
Could you change pmac-utils to Suggests instead of Depends? That way it should get things
working again. AFAIK this isn't a hard requirement anymore on ppc64 at least.
Yes, I will demote the package to Suggests or even remove it. I don't think it's necessary
anymore.
