I’ll try and take care of those two (I had my cup full enough during the 
transition, but now it’s over, I should be able to spare some cycle).

I would not advise to make an arch:any package “just” for that: even if 
the library doesn’t work in 32-bit, the cost on the rest of the PHP 
library ecosystem is not worth it IMO.

If it’s totally broken on 32-bit, just don’t run the testsuite on these 
arches, and state it prominently in a NEWS file (if its actually new) 
and/or maybe in the package description.

If it’s only partly broken, maybe just skip the related tests (I’ve been 
doing it in symfony and other packages for a while).

I may try to have a look at it after the other two.

I guess some packages may be updated to newer upstream version (but 
maybe not the latest major), feel free to provide some guidance (what 
packages can be updated, up to which version, and eventually what major 
version could be uploaded to experimental if that helps) if we can help 
you handle tinier tasks.
