Apologies, there's a couple points of confusion here. To be explicit:

uname -m returns: ppc64le, aarch64
dpkg uses: ppc64el, arm64

Yes, the le/el is transposed between the two ppc64 ones. Weird, I know.
Yes, we said ppc64 above but I'm saying ppc64le now. This is because
code inspection shows that juju is using 'uname -m' here in the script
it passes to the manual provisioned hosts, and this wasn't clear when
we asked a ppc64el/le porter about it. I explicitly asked our porter
friend to run 'uname -m', and he confirmed it returns "ppc64le".
