[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1070046: edflib: consider expressing the little endian constraint via Build-Depends: architecture-is-little-endian

[Helmut Grohne]

Source: edflib
Version: 1.25-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi,

edflib fails to build on big endian architectures. While it fails
quickly, it still requires creating a chroot and it looks like a real
failure. Would you mind lifting this into a build dependency expressing
the constraint? Thus edflib would become permanently bd-uninstallable on
all big endian architectures. I'm attaching a patch for your
convenience.

Helmut
