Because the ones who care about powerpc are busy right now ? I think it is exam time for some of them, or they are busy with other stuff. I myself don't have a pmac, so there is not much i can do, and i think gaudenz has gone to work on discovery mostly. Don't know about the others. Maybe this is the right time for you (or others) to step in and have a go at fixing this problem, if we want to have good powerpc support by march 15. Anyway, i have no idea about the keyboard problem you reported, but this kernel issue, it should not be problematic. Does choosing unstable instead of testing make a change here ?
