I have considered doing an NMU, but was scared off by the huge amount of 
compilation warnings.

That's not a problem. The only thing to check is that the dependency is 
correct.

I have no idea. powerpc is an architecture I know very little about as I've 
never had the hardware.

If it's still useful for anything, it probably is manual troubleshooting 
and rescue. I've no idea if it offers any advantages over regular fdisk 
and/or parted.

A decision to retire the udebs should be made by the powerpc and m68k [1] 
porters.

[1] Note that even though m68k is no longer a release arch, it is still 
being maintained to some degree, including D-I support for it.
