Nope, no idea sorry..

Or more specifically
  PowerBook5,[1-5]:  'powerbook-exttmds-single'
  PowerBook5,[78]:  'powerbook-exttmds-dual'
  PowerBook5,6: either 'powerbook-exttmds-single' or 'powerbook-exttmds-dual'

Looking at the bugreport.. Both options seem different enough in that things
work for me with a 5,2, but not for another reporter with a 5,8. (Maybe there
can be one way that works for both though, who knows).

Don't know anyone with such a machine. Might be worth asking on debian-powerpc
for some testers...
