I added ppc64el back to the architecture list for kicad and did a test
build of the current version in unstable on ppc64el.

Given we are still in the freeze for Buster a next upload will need to
go to NEW anyway, uploading to unstable or experimental is a bit
depending when 5.1.3 will get released. Currently it looks like this
will happen mostly at the same time as the Buster release is currently
planned.
