There are build daemons for each architecture which build packages from source
if no binaries are uploaded for them. All reasonably sane packages propagate
to all architectures within a few days, and looking at
http://voltaire.debian.org/buildlogs/zope (voltaire is the machine running the
powerpc buildd) it seems zope is sane.
