Since you did not got any answer on this.  If this problem occures on
i386 *only* we might start a discussion whether we want to keep i386
support for numba and its rdepends.  There might be some applications
for arm32 bit in scientific devices but as far as I understood Debian is
droping i386 in the foreseable future.  Starting droping support for
scientific applications now does not seem to do any harm and might save
you some time on maintaining numba.

Ahhh, well, this seems to be a sensible decision even excluding 32bit
arm which is fine for me as well.  It might mean a chain of removal
requests of several rdepends but we need to do this sooner or later
anyway.

Thanks a lot for all your work on numba.  Its really appreciated
    Andreas.
