To be clear about this: neither of the currently-supported Debian releases
(versions 10 and 9) supports powerpc hardware. The newest Debian release
that contains powerpc is Debian 8, which reached end-of-life 2 years ago.
Debian 8 on x86 and 32-bit ARM had semi-official "long term support"
which is due to end about now, but this did not cover powerpc.
According to Wikipedia, the last Powerbook models were discontinued in
2006. I think enabling PMU support more widely, for the benefit of 14
year old hardware, seems likely to be an uphill struggle.
