The firefox package is built with AltiVec enabled and so is mplayer, for example. So, yes, Altivec is actively used and I would honestly refrain from disabling it in a performance-sensitive package like babl. Altivec is disabled on powerpcspe where it's not available in the hardware, but most machines on which people install Debian powerpc should have Altivec. Adrian -- .''`.
