I was eventualy able to debug the calls made by the Makefile on my i386 and figure out the correct call to pkg-list for powerpc

util/pkg-list netboot/gtk "" di "2.6" "2.6.22-3-powerpc"

and to get those "pkg-lists:" strings (which, btw, are printed to stderr and not on stdout, and that's the reason why tee'ing the latter only didn't do the trick):

libgtk-directfb-2.0-0-udeb pulls in libdirectfb-1.0-0-udeb pulls directly (that's ok)

but i also see that

libgtk-directfb-2.0-0-udeb pulls in libcairo-directfb2-udeb (that's ok)
libcairo-directfb2-udeb pulls in libdirectfb-0.9-25-udeb (that's not ok)

So, i hand-extracted the control file from inside the libcairo-directfb2-udeb udeb which i personally built against dfb 1.0 and placed inside localudebs, and its actual content is:

Package: libcairo-directfb2-udeb
Source: libcairo
Version: 1.4.10-1
Architecture: powerpc
Maintainer: Dave Beckett <dajobe@debian.org> Installed-Size: 412
Depends: fontconfig-udeb (>= 2.4.0), libc6 (>= 2.6-1), libdirectfb-1.0-0-udeb, libfreetype6-udeb (>= 2.3 .5), libpng12-0-udeb (>= 1.2.13-4), zlib1g-udeb (>= 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-1)

as you can see, the udeb correctly depends from libdirectfb-1.0-0-udeb, so i'm wondering where that libdirectfb-0.9-25-udeb dependancy comes from.

Do you need help?

ah, i didn't know such an option existed, now i do, and i agree it's better than hacking the Makefile :)
