Thanks! That works.

I see there are also fixes for ppc64le and s390x. I'll
review and include those as well.

In light of this, I intend to change this package to Architecture:any
so that the test suite gets run on all architectures. This will make
the package (and its reverse dependencies) uninstallable on broken
architectures, but that seems preferrable to silent breakage.

I'll upload to experimental first to see how bad things currently are.
