A patch for this is very welcome. How do you propose to implement that? 
Something like this maybe?

Note that we ignore test failures on ppc64el which might have caught 
this issue. Upstream doesn't care about those architectures, so we're on 
our own to resolve issues on architectures other than amd64/i386/arm64. 
Pretty much all packages I maintain don't have actual users on non-amd64 
architectures, so I don't consider it worth the effort to ask the 
porters for help, they should spend their time on packages that are 
actually used. With DSA's use of icinga2 on porterboxes it's the 
exception to the norm.

PowerPC porters, can you help fix the test failures of icinga2 on ppc64el?

Kind Regards,

Bas
