Thanks for your update for the 32-bit architectures support,
sorry this seems to have stalled a bit.  I did give a spin to
your version 4.0.2 on i386 and armhf, and the segmentation fault
in autopkgtest context went away.

If you're interested in proceeding to prepare the package update
for Debian yourself, you can lookup the team policy[1] chapter
on the update topic if you need a refresh.  Once you think your
repository in Salsa is ready for uploading the new version,
please come back to us requesting for sponsorship.

Have a nice day,  :)
