powerpc-ibm-utils is in the minimal set, which should be installed in
most/all cases.  I agree that the naming is confusing, and I have a plan
for the next Debian release and 16.04, if I have time, to migrate
powerpc-utils to pmac-utils and powerpc-ibm-utils to powerpc-utils, so
it matches the upstream name.

There will be a transitional package for one LTS->LTS cycle that pulls
in both on powerpc/ppc64 (though, not on ppc64el) to make sure upgrades
don't break anyone, but then we'll get to a more sane state.
