The first thing to consider would be the Extras repository : normally,
packages rebuilt and pushed in that repository are rebuilt pkgs that
landed in "upstream" Extras repo.
AFAIK (but happy to be corrected if I'm wrong) there is no ppc64 Extras
channel.

Now we can though try to rebuild that libssh and push it through Extras
if that's possible

WRT "infrastructure" : CBS is *not* used at all to build distribution
components, so don't search there for packages that land in
os/updates/extras repository.
Those packages are all rebuilt in a different setup.

Let's try to sync with James (ppc64/ppc64le maintainer) to see what can
be done for that libssh pkg.
