Luckily, the maintainer Steven (cc'd) is super responsive, so transitioning to a debian-science repo should be no problem.
@Graham, can you set one up for us and populate it with the latest tbb from Debian [1]? We could then go ahead and polish it up.
Cheers,
Nico

Below is a list of tbb's reverse dependencies and the team (if any) that
maintains them.
bowtie debian-med
bowtie2 debian-med
flexbar debian-med
salmon debian-med
blender debian-multimedia
deal.ii debian-science
gazebo debian-science
mathicgb debian-science
opencv debian-science
openturns debian-science
trilinos debian-science
madness debichem
mpqc3 debichem
tiledarray debichem
hhvm hhvm-team
openvdb none
Mostly debian-science, then debian-med and debichem. I think
debian-science would be a good home for this package and you should have
no trouble finding sponsors, and I agree with everything else Sébastien
wrote.
You probably are aware, but for reference, Ubuntu has a new upstream
version [1] which builds on s390x.

Graham
