Full powerpc 32bit support (already there in the daily builds, missed the beta3 update deadline though). Support for either 64bit powerpc (power3, power4 or G5 based pserie/pmac, iserie), either as a debian-installer build on top of a 64bit kernel, or for the installation of a 64 bit kernel in base/kernel-installer. Better choice for powerpc kernels (UP vs SMP, powerpc vs powerpc-small, 32bit vs 64bit kernels). I am working on building 64bit 2.6 kernels for powerpc. I still need some support from the toolchain (a bi-arch gcc 3.4 or gcc 3.3 with some backported patches), and possibly a few userland stuff too (procps, module-init-tools, libncurses i am told). Some more advanced choice of partition table layouts by partman, including proposing partitioning choice needed per architecture/subarchitecture/boot method. Proposing or enforcing them.
