For what it's worth, I uploaded a ghdl with a libghdl a couple of days
ago to experimental. I wanted to fix at least some arches building
before uploading again to unstable, but I'm not sure how long that will
take. Worst case I will have to disable architectures other than amd64
to get it back into testing and have ghdl just on that architecture for
this release.

I tried compiling the the yosys plugin and it worked once I changed the
makefile. The libghdl path returned by ghdl in the package is currently
wrong and it won't find it. However there is no reason to link it
directly by file name, when I change the filename to -lghdl instead it
compiles fine. I didn't test it beyond that though.
