[Bug 1239595] [NEW] Backport ppc64el support to stable releases for infratructure/buildd use

[Adam Conrad]

Public bug reported:

[Impact]
This allows various bits of archive and package building infrastructure on precise to recognise ppc64el as a valid arch, needed for Soyuz, but also some third-party archive infrastructure setups.

[Test Case]
Test that "dpkg-architecture -appc64el" outputs the same on precise-proposed as it does on saucy.

[Regression Potential]
Minimal regression potential. Should double-check that "dpkg-architecture -appc64el" and "dpkg-architecture -apowerpc" output as desired, with 32/64 bits and eb/el as appropriate.
