Especially, as the quad power5 machines hosted there are officially debian donations from IBM. And a powerpc64 buildd would be important if we want to go multi-arch/bi-arch now that etch is out. But the DSA team have refused to even consider those augsbourg machines, probably because they where overloaded, and unwilling to share the work, a bit like it is happening with the arm or sparc ports, where new hardware was proposed, but ignored or rejected. I myself have a dual G5 XServe machine online at a datacenter a kilometer from my home, which could be used as a buildd, but i have been suspended, and seen as the devil incarnate by those in power, so ...
