Yes it is not installable due to dependency on libhdf5-dev, which is no

Haven't tried with that version yet.

What do you mean by cross-build? I think I know what cross-compile is,
but not cross-build. I've been working on building 6.10.1+dfsg1-5 with
6.8.2dfsg1-1.1 for a long time now without luck.
The latest try was today, ending with:
Bad interface file: dist-stage1/build/Outputable.hi
dist-stage1/build/Outputable.hi: openBinaryFile: failed

I missed that bug report, it was serious, not important, thanks.
