I think there's something else going on.
pynormaliz 2.22+ds-2 was uploaded very soon after normaliz 3.10.5+ds-3.
Looking at the builds logs of pynormaliz [1], I see:
Get:67 https://deb.debian.org/debian sid/main amd64 libnormaliz-dev
amd64 3.10.4+ds-1 [2241 kB]
Get:87 https://incoming.debian.org/debian-buildd buildd-sid/main arm64

Get:87 https://incoming.debian.org/debian-buildd buildd-sid/main s390x
libnormaliz-dev s390x 3.10.5+ds-3 [2515 kB]
In other words, pynormaliz 2.22+ds-2 was built against normaliz
3.10.4+ds-1 on amd64, i386 and ppc64el.
It is probably not a coincidence that these are the architectures that
seem to have autopkgtest regressions with normaliz 3.10.5+ds-3 [2].
∙ ∙ autopkgtest for pynormaliz/2.21+ds-1: amd64: Regression ♻
(reference ♻), i386: Regression ♻ (reference ♻), ppc64el: Regression ♻
(reference ♻)
Does pynormaliz need some stricter build, and or, runtime dependencies
on normaliz?
