Yes, that's weird.  I've solved this and confirm tests are working.

I admit I do not really care about dh_dwz and took the freedom to simply
let it pass. :-P

I neither know what this might mean - but I consider it harmless.  If
you really want to know you might like to ask on debian-mentors@lists.d.o.

But despite I skipped this the next strange thing is happening:

   dh_strip -a -O--buildsystem=pybuild
objcopy: Unable to recognise the format of the input file `debian/ont-fast5-api/usr/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/ont_fast5_api/vbz_plugin/libvbz_hdf_plugin_aarch64.so'
dh_strip: error: objcopy --only-keep-debug --compress-debug-sections debian/ont-fast5-api/usr/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/ont_fast5_api/vbz_plugin/libvbz_hdf_plugin_aarch64.so debian/.debhelper/ont-fast5-api/dbgsym-root/usr/lib/debug/.build-id/40/83615f4319ee85a50111a114b9491d99f72285.debug returned exit code 1
dh_strip: error: Aborting due to earlier error

I do not think that this is also harmless but I admit I have no clue.  May
be mentors can help?
