This is fine in principle, except that ppc64 is not an official Debian port and its packages are not mirrored on the same servers. I just tried something similar, which is to add x32 (also unofficial) as an alternate architecture to my biarch x86 system. APT now complains: W: Failed to fetch http://http.debian.net/debian/dists/experimental/InRelea= se Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-x32/Packages' in Release fil= e (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file) W: Failed to fetch http://http.debian.net/debian/dists/sid/Release Unable = to find expected entry 'main/binary-x32/Packages' in Release file (Wrong so= urces.list entry or malformed file) W: Failed to fetch http://http.debian.net/debian/dists/testing/Release Una= ble to find expected entry 'main/binary-x32/Packages' in Release file (Wron= g sources.list entry or malformed file) W: Failed to fetch http://http.debian.net/debian/dists/wheezy/Release Unab= le to find expected entry 'main/binary-x32/Packages' in Release file (Wrong= sources.list entry or malformed file) E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones= used instead. So I think Michael's version, leaving big-endian kernels as powerpc by default, is preferable for now.
