The debian project has some powerpc machines (and we still build numpy
on those boxes when i upload a new revision to our archives) and they
also have hosts dedicated to let debian developers login and debug
issues with their packages on that architecture. I can sponsor access
to those machines for some of you, but it is not a place where you can
host a CI instance.

Just keep it in mind more broadly than powerpc, f.e. these are all the
archs where numpy was built after the last upload
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=python-numpy&suite=unstable
(the grayed out archs are the ones non release critical, so packages
are built as best effort and if missing is not a big deal)

Thanks Sandro. It looks like even for the release-critical ones, it's just the build that has to succeed and failures are not detected? For example, armel is green but has 9 failures: https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=python-numpy&arch=armel&ver=1%3A1.12.0-2&stamp=1484889563&raw=0
