Package: diffoscope
Version: 316
Severity: normal
Control: block 1132866 by -1

Dear Maintainers,

diffoscope declares a <!nocheck> build-dependency on python3-guestfs.

Since qemu is sbout to drop 32bit host support, source package
libguestfs has stopped building binary packages for 32bit architectures,
this affects python3-guestfs.

If it makes sense, please limit the build-dependency to something like

    python3-guestfs <!nocheck> [amd64 arm64 loong64 riscv64 s390x],

or remove it entirely so libguestfs binary packages for 32bit
architectures can be removed from the archive. Thanks.

Cheers,
-Hilko
