Hi FTP Team,

last-align has been removed from testing today.  When looking up
the reason, I noted that was because it is now built with build
dependency architecture-is-64-bit.  I had a quick investigation
and noted that autopkgtests were probably regressing due to an
infinite loop in the test "last-test", when checking on i386.

It looks to me Charles' plan was to remove 32-bit support to the
package officially, but the removal request dropped off the
radar, so I wrapped one up now.  last-align is one of Debian Med
packages and we consider preferrable to remove 32-bit support
when it causes problem, because interest for 32-bit platforms
for running scientific applications has sunset some time ago.

Have a nice day,  :)
