Dear ftpmaster, Dear arm porters,
The newer revision of bali-phy is giving difficulties[1,2,3] on
arm 32-bit architectures. Since the package targets scientific
applications, I'm not confident that it has a heavy user base on
such architecture and would request a removal of bali-phy from
armel and armhf. Of course, if porters have time and resources
to help Benjamin, in carbon copy, to debug and fix the problem,
that is for the better. :)

Note that if bali-phy gets fixed after removal, then it will
still be possible for the package to reintegrate the 32-bit arm
distribution. But for the moment, I see the upcoming trixie
freeze and autoremoval of the package is at the corner, hence my
personnal preference for a removal. I'm especially concerned if
debugging the arm 32-bit build failure gets involved and gets in
the way of other pressing porting issues.
Whatever the outcome, Thank you for your help on the matter!
Have a nice day, :)

PS: the new capability in reportbug that adds porters when
requesting removal for given architectures is neat. :)
