Doesn't "wontfix" mean that you acknowledge the bug, but decided not to
fix it?
If this is indeed a QEMU problem, IMHO you should not acknowledge the bug.

For whatever definition of small. I've seen it consuming 1 GiB of memory...

I am contacting you guys on behalf of http://gitbrew.org. We have
recently released the otherOS++ firmware for the Sony Playstation 3,
allowing the install of third-party OSes on the PS3 once again. We
currently have Debian-PPC running on otherOS++ with full access to
RSX/SPE's, and would like to know if you would like to collaborate
with us on an official Debian port.
We wouldn't consider this as a distinct port, as the PS3 will run the
same powerpc binaries as we already provide. But I assume there is some
specific hardware support (particularly for the SPEs) that is currently
lacking from our powerpc port, and help on that would surely be welcome.
There actually *is* a separate port:
http://wiki.debian.org/PowerPCSPEPort
That's unrelated.
It's a pity (and cause of confusion) of having SPE mean both Signal Processing
Extension (for FreeScale parts) and Synergistic Processing Element (for Cell
parts), both in a PowerPC context.

Enabling `-j' will probably expose concurrency problems in the build system for
lots of packages.
What about building different packages in parallel instead?

Suggestion: controlling the load average
I think the Debian installation tools need something to monitor the load average, to prevent systems from [ct]rashing during install. Cfr. sendmail which stops processing mail when it detects that the load average is above a specified threshold. A lot of programs start update-menus in the background upon installation. If you install (or upgrade) 50 of them, you get 50 running update-menus processes fighting for CPU cycles. [ correction: according to some people, this is not normal behavior, so it must be a bug in the current update-menus on PPC ] It may sound hard to update all helper scripts (like update-menus) used for installation, but even adding a simple load average check to dpkg only would cure most of the problems. If you do that dpkg just pauses until the load average is lower, i.e. until the background scripts are finished. This idea was inspired by the problem I had with update-menus, where they all kept running in the background when I did `apt-get upgrade -u'. All those update-menus processes consumed CPU cycles and tried to exhaust memory (I `only' have 128 MB in my PPC box).
