Package: librsb
Version: 1.3.0.2+dfsg-1
Tags: bookworm, sid
Severity: serious
Justification: rc policy - "packages must be buildable within the same release"
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: edos-uninstallable

librsb build-depends on coccinelle which appears to have been removed
on armhf, presumablly because it fails to build with an out of memory
error. This leaves your package in violation of the rc policy.

In general in cases like this there are three possible ways forward,
in roughly descending order of preference.

1. Fix the package you depend on so that it once again builds on
    all release architectures.
2. Modify your package to eliminate the build-dependency in question
    on architectures where it is not available.
3. Decide it is not reasonable to support your package on armhf and
    file a removal request with the ftp team.

I do not know enough about your individual package to say which are
feasible in your particular case.
