    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. :)

    [3]: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1101873

    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. :)
