They still support the 68k processor (like pre-mid-90's Macs, Ataris,
Amigas, etc.). I doubt they would drop support for the even more
powerful and prevalent PowerPC, unless they plan to drop all of their
other "legacy" ports.

Looking at the popularity of the port <http://popcon.debian.org/>, it
seems unlikely.
