I don't think this is a ppc-specific issue -- nothing in the current
version of enigmail is debian-specific. I also think your issue has
more to do with enigmail and thunderbird on jessie itself. Your
situation i think has more to do with https://bugs.debian.org/870073
than with https://bugs.debian.org/869774.

This makes it look like you haven't upgraded thunderbird on your jessie
installation. the version of thunderbird available from
security.debian.org is 1:52.2.1-4~deb8u1. (see:
https://packages.debian.org/source/oldstable/icedove)
If you are running jessie, please:
* upgrade to the supported version of thunderbird that has security
fixes
* ensure that you have "use-agent" in your ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
* ensure that gnome-keyring is not presenting a gpg-agent interface
(see https://bugs.debian.org/870073 for more discussion about
thunderbird and enigmail on debian jessie)
