Since this is little-endian, old "power" (ie, powerpc and ppc64) won't work. Thus, you need ppc64el packages only. Binary packages in ppc64el unstable main: 53512 Binary packages in amd64 unstable main: 55586 There are probably some packages that compile but don't run but that's a tiny minority as most software is sane. The biggest exception I know is GNOME (at least as of jessie, no idea if they fixed it since) but good riddance. GNOME programs still work from a sane WM, it's only GNOME's window manager part that requires either a mid-end GPU with specific capabilities or slow software emulation, the latter working only on amd64 and i386.
