I have successfully installed webmin using the .deb file on Debian 7 PowerPC (running on iMac G3 with G4 upgrade). Besides the options for resolving dependencies according to http://www.webmin.com/deb.html there is also gdebi, which helps install the webmin .deb file and automatically resolve dependencies. I would suggest adding that to the tutorial (although available on the command line, gdebi/gdebi-core is probably only installed by default when a desktop environment present). According to packages.debian.org the only required repositories for Debian 7 should be "main" and "wheezy/updates main" for the security updates (which provides openssl). These were all that needed to be enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list in my case. I disagree that there is any significant lagging for the Debian (7) repositories on PowerPC: e.g. I am even using a mirror, ftp.utexas.edu, and running a recent kernel (3.14 available in wheezy-backports). I am glad to encounter someone eager to use dated yet functional hardware, though! Christopher Chavez > > It's downloaded directly from Debian.

Christopher, I just bailed on using the .deb installation of Webmin. I used the source version and it's working perfectly. Coming from using CentOS there's a bit of a learning curve. I've managed to get it pretty well sorted at this point. I've only had one issue with it not responding after a few days of running. I am hoping this was just a fluke. This old hardware will suit my needs as a back up web, mail and DNS just fine. The packages do seem to be current as you mention, which is awesome.
