/sbin/auditctl

root@ubuntu:~# dpkg -S /sbin/auditctl

root@ubuntu:~# dpkg --list | grep auditd
ii  auditd                                    1:2.3.7-1ubuntu1                      ppc64el      User space tools for security auditing

I found a discussion of the need for ppc64le support in audit in the
archives for the linux-audit ml

https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2014-December/msg00003.html

The full changeset for the ppc64le support is in trunk upstream:
