As noted in the libvirt driver [1], we only test against x86 and x86_64. While this would be relatively easy to fix, the lack of a gate job means it will likely regress again in the future and also means we can't justifiably make this architecture as supported. I think the more likely issue is this:
I'm marking this bug as severity:serious since your package has only Architecture:all binary packages, and should thus, in theory, build everywhere. Failure to build on ppc64el might indicate a serious issue in this package or in another package. Setting Architecture to indicate support for x86 and x86_64 only would seem far more sensible to me.
