Well, this package version appears to also build now in Ubuntu on arm64 and
armhf but not on ppc64el:

  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/parsinsert/1.04-6

so it looks like there has perhaps been improvement in the
cross-architecture compatibility of this package since the bug was initially
filed.
