Strange. Taking the last wheezy dsc and Sebastian's debdiff, I could 
build it in wheezy-amd64 and wheezy-i386 chroots.

If we want to upload a new upstream version to stable, we have to wait 
for testing migration anyway, in order to ensure that the testing 
version is larger than the stable version.

So if upstream doesn't release 0.98.4 in the next five days, we could 
take 0.98.3 with the PowerPC-FTBFS fix and otherwise upload 0.98.4 to 
unstable (maybe with urgency=high) and then upload that to stable, once 
it is in testing.

Best regards,
Andreas
