Yes, I am interested. What needs to be done?

Unfortunately not. I do have a Pegasos PowerPC computer though.
Does Debian have Alpha logins for Debian developers?

Yes, I suspect so. Probably need to allow setting at least --keydir
and --rcfile (for the keyphrase hook). I am not sure what --confdir is
for though - is it needed?
After Monotone.pm is updated, obviously ikiwiki will have to be
updated to provide the new settings. I think this should be easy.

No idea. It might be. Either that or it is empty (what happens in this
case?).
Hmmm. Wonder if you can override HOME from the apache config... I
guess I will have to try and see what happens.
