[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1060104: dcmtk: FTBFS on armel: Error: bad immediate value for offset (4100)

[Sébastien Jodogne]

Dear all,

Because of bug #1060104, a large majority of the packages related to 
medical imaging have just disappeared from Debian Unstable.

But, if I correctly understand #1060104, it is specific to one single 
platform (armel).

My question is: Rather than penalizing all platforms (including the most 
common arm64) and thus a huge number of users working on healthcare 
application, couldn't a temporary measure be to remove the armel builds?

Best Regards,
Sébastien-
