So far as I can tell, this bug has not been looked at by the debian-installer
folks.
Is PowerPC simply so unimportant that resources cannot be spared to even *look*
at a problem that renders the installer unusable on that hardware?
>From my experience
a) there is little point to the business card image. The netinstall is the good
option.
b) daily builds are not necessarily supposed to work they are just for
developers to share and try out ideas with.
c) try the weekly builds,
d) try testing, do a basic install and add unstable items with testing
preferred. Unstable is not guaranteed to do anything except that (do I have
this exactly right) certain very severe bugs cause it to reject moving to
testing, after a short period of time the item either moves to testing or to
experimental or nothing (in that particular version).
I am no DD I have just listened to the lists for a few years.

I can confirm that this is bug is also present on the playstation 3. Starting
the installation gives the looping segmentation fault message.
