Is this as simple as enabling the qemu-ppce500 in u-boot? If so, this bug could be reassigned to u-boot. Although on non-powerpc systems, it would require configuring a system with powerpc as a foreign architecture to be able to use multi-arch... but then installing u-boot:powerpc might work for this purpose. There are currently no working u-boot targets on powerpc, and hence a removal request has been filed, but if qemu needs a powerpc build, I could drop the removal request: https://bugs.debian.org/756449 live well, vagrant
