Hi Fritz, I recently tried the 15.04 mini iso for PPC and it seems like
systemd is a huge problem for PPC.
I tried installing xserver/xorg/etc... and my computer crashed.  I tried
apt-get -f install and it crashed.
pretty lame experience.  Maybe LFS would be a good way to go with PPC
:P  Probably about the same amount of trouble.
On a side note, I might test out the latest Debian from mini.  If I have
good successes I will tell you!
