The naming is more than a little confusing. AIUI, in Ubuntu's terminology, the `powerpc` packages are for 32-bit machines, the `ppc64-powerpc` packages are for Big Endian 64-bit machines, and the `ppc64el` packages are for Little Endian 64-bit machines. Everyone seems to have agreed that the long-term answer for 64-bit PowerPC is Little Endian (Debian maintains an unofficial BE port, but Canonical/Ubuntu, RedHat, and SUSE all seem to have standardized on LE). For maximal confusion, the appropriate triple's first component is, however, `powerpc64le`.
