Hi,

preliminary support for ppc64el is now in SVN
(pkg-nvidia/packages/nvidia-graphics-drivers/trunk, for 352.79).

A .orig.tar.gz can be generated with
  mkdir ../.cache
  debian/rules get-orig-source
on stretch/sid (not on jessie!)
(I'll probably (partially) switch to .orig-$ARCH.tar.gz tarballs soon)

I could successfully build packages on the porterbox plummer, and
building the kernel module worked there, too.

So far I failed to create a ppc64el foreign chroot with qemu-debootstrap
on an amd64 host.

I haven't done any installability tests, some dependencies are probably
missing or wrong. Nor did (or even could) I test this on real hardware.
