I guess that would indeed be the best resolution for now

not the one I am aware off -- just extract from the total patch present
in Ubuntu i.e.
http://patches.ubuntu.com/p/pytables/pytables_2.3.1-2ubuntu3.patch
and adjust to care about sparc as well

Julian -- would you like to join the team (Debian science) and help with
maintenance of pytables in Debian? ;)
