Yes, that would be extremely helpfull, i think. Please CC me too with those change though. Main problem is that oldworld don't yet work out of the box with d-i, but if you have an older new world box, this would be a good start. We would need updated entries for prep, chrp/pegasos and rs6k boxes too. First general thing that needs updated, is the kernel information. Please ask me questions, and look at : http://packages.qa.debian.org/k/kernel-patch-2.4.25-powerpc.html For the available packages.
