Bug#1014628: src:git-annex: fails to migrate to testing for too long: FTBFS on armel and armhf

[Sean Whitton]

Hello,

Some time ago Joey suggested uploading something like the attached to
try to debug the build failures of 8.20211123 on the 32-bit ARM archs.
However, it has not been possible to do this for some months because the
Haskell transition is stalled on those architectures.  I'm sending this
mail primarily in order to store this work somewhere public.  However,
we don't know whether the bug still exists, with so much of the Haskell
ecosystem having been updated recently, including git-annex.

My plan is to ask ftpmaster to remove git-annex on armel and armhf and
then downgrade the severity of this bug.  For the time being, we don't
know whether Debian can support git-annex on armel & armhf for bookworm.
