Notice that once we are going multi-arch (probably not for etch though), the 64bit architecture will be called powerpc64, and not ppc64. The ppc64 effort is a different thing, a one-man effort by Andreas Jochens mostly, who rebuilt everything in a pure-64 way, and has been sending out bug reports asking for ppc64 support since a long time now.
