Yaroslav, I doubt it can be done in short time. We (upstream) are all
quite busy in this period.
IMHO the best solution is to adopt Julian's patch for blosc disabling
and upload the new package to allow migration to testing.

Just let me know how to proceed.

I don't know if there is some special protocol/procedure for importing
changes from ubuntu.

Maybe Julian would like to push the patch into debian-science directly.

best regards
