Hi! I would help with this transition to use GRUB on powerpc as well as on ppc64 which we are now providing unofficial installation for in Debian Ports [1]. I do have commit access to debian-installer and its components as well as access to an IBM POWER7 instance which can be used to test both powerpc as well as ppc64 installation images. I would like to get rid of yaboot because it is no longer maintained upstream and switching to GRUB also helps reduce the maintenance burden in debian-installer. What we need are people who are willing to extensively test d-i images with GRUB on powerpc and ppc64 and report back. Also, I'm not yet sure whether I have understood how exactly GRUB is properly configured and used on powerpc and ppc64. Adrian -- .''`.
