Thanks for the elaborate answer. However, I have come to the conclusion now that I am going to drop Yaboot from debian-installer in favor of GRUB, both on powerpc as well as ppc64 and even on sparc64. I have made some progress and the grub-installer entries already show up in the menus of the debian-installer images for ppc64 and sparc64, there is still some work left until everything works correctly though. Yaboot itself is a lost cause in my opinion. Users have to resort to workarounds and upstream is factually dead and it's therefore probably just a matter of time until the package gets removed from Debian. Let's just focus on GRUB then.
