"Bad state" was a single failing unittest on exotic platforms AFAIK --
or am I missing something? That test could have been dealt efficiently
via NMU, but noone did. Anyways -- I've uploaded a fixed up
package to the archive earlier today. Let's see how it goes.
Although in general I do not mind moving packages under Debian Science,
I do not see it as a panacea... quite often in my case it leads to me
spending more time working around adjusting my workflow and to provide
backports which we do for NeuroDebian. So unless I see that there is an
immediate benefit overweighting the cons in this case, I would
prefer to keep it as is for now. Sorry
