There are a problem with the packages derived from ffmpeg sources:
libavcodec52,libavformat52 etc. in the PowerPC platform(32 bits),I don't
know if the problem exists in PowerPC64bits.
When we run iceweasel with gnash-plugin does not appear anything only
a light-grey screen in place of the movie,when we use the command line
gnash movie.swf appears the warning:

/usr/bin/gtk-gnash: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libavformat.so.52: R_PPC_REL24 relocation at 0x0dfbde74 for symbol `fcntl' out of range

(this even with the latest 20_04_2009 packages version in sid).

The packages of christian marillat in debian-multimedia suffer from a
similar problem with the ffmpeg packages,the warning is slightly different
but tells explicitly about 64bit problem.

Perhaps the powerpc packages were built in a 64 bit machine with no
compatibility options to 32 bit processors,or so.
