Some notes per architecture:

I forgot to mention powerpc and ppc64:

Both the 32-bit and 64-bit big-endian PowerPC ports in Debian are
in very good shape. They build over 12200 out of 12900 packages with
almost no issues. Both powerpc and ppc64 could be release architectures
but it was unfortunately decided that Debian would support the little-
endian PowerPC port (ppc64el) for the time being.

The only known issues are lack of support in Golang as IBM/Golang
decided to kill off support for anything older than POWER8 in the
ppc64 port and the lack of a Hotspot port for powerpc in OpenJDK
(there is support for powerpc in the Zero variant of OpenJDK
though).

Both powerpc and ppc64 are supported as QEMU targets, both as qemu-user
and qemu-system. Both ports are maintained by the Debian Ports team.

Thanks,
Adrian
