Bug#877419: [Help] Exclusion did not worked (Was: Bug#877419: Bug#877700: RM: pandas [arm64 armel armhf mips mips64el mipsel s390x] ...)

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Yaroslav,

thanks for those hints that somehow came to late since I just read it
after I implemented some hopefully working solution.  I just uploaded
and we'll see what might happen.  Every reader here is invited to fix
it if not / enhance it if not happy. :-)

Kind regards

      Andreas.
