While the architecture does not yet exist in Debian, there's nothing Ubuntu-specific about the ppc64el support, and I expect we will eventually see the ppc64el port in Debian at some point in the future. The google-perftools porting to ppc64el is also endian-agnostic, so the package would probably build and work on both ppc64 and ppc64el, if you wanted to enable the build for both architectures. I've only personally tested on ppc64el, so that's the only architecture I added to the list.
