[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#860682: bcftools: FTBFS on i386: Test failures

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

as per bug #819617 the fact that bcftools does not build on i386 is
known.  In how far is it a serious bug if a package that has never
build on an architecture does not build?

I have the impression that there are some false positives in your
archive rebuild script.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
