Well the libpeas/seed issue has been dealt with.

Unfortunately evoloution-data-server (which built successfully on arm64 
in the past) has picked up a dependency on libphonenumber which failed 
with a testsuite failure

SEVERE: Failed validation for Country Code: 675 National Number: -9223372036854775808 Leading Zero(s): true Number of leading zeros: 2


Unfortunately I can't test this myself because i'm doing my arm64 
testing using user mode qemu and the version of usermode aarch64 qemu 
doesn't seem to get on with openjdk and even if I could I have no idea 
how to debug what I strongly suspect is an internal issue in openjdk.
