Tell me if you want to do that. And plan for a delay because there is
some "paper work" to be done before; mainly by other people, so it might
(or might not) take a moment.

Honestly I don't know. https://wiki.debian.org/ppc64el tells
Debian/ppc64el requires, at minimum, a POWER8 processor machine.
Although Debian was initially bootstrapped on a POWER7 set of
servers. this class of server is not supported anymore, and you
are not able to run Debian/ppc64el on a POWER7 processor without
hitting an illegal instruction fault.
Hm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POWER8 tells:
Systems based on POWER8 became available from IBM in June
2014. Systems and POWER8 processor designs made by other
OpenPOWER members was available in early 2015.
So I think this rules out a G5.
https://wiki.debian.org/ppc64el/Installation mentions you can run this
under qemu however.
Best regards
Uwe
