I have almost finished packaging utf8proc after fixing a few upstream
issues, so I would suggest we wait for the three new packages to clear
NEW, and package an orig tarball that excludes dsfmt and utf8proc from
the beginning. I will modify get-orig-source shortly.

Would you be willing to review and upload the dependencies?

If you like, the dsfmt package is now ready for review.

Great! I have a small armhf machine, but it is too slow for builds.

Did you succeed in running the tests on armhf? On an x86_64 machine,
the memory usage of the parallel test workers continually grows during
the run, reaching roughly 2 GB per worker. I suspect this is due to the
JITted code, which is not garbage collected between tests.
