Fair enough.

I think the vbz compression is not actually enabled by upstream for
all architectures (amd64 and arm64 only?).
So restricting the architectures of the build-dependency on
libvbz-hdf-plugin-dev might be sufficient.
At least, the patch below was enough to get r-bioc-rhdf5filters
building on s390x for me, and it does not seem to be affected by the
pandoc/haskell-pandoc issue.

Graham
