The pytables package page at
https://packages.debian.org/unstable/python3-tables-lib
says that python3-tables-lib is only available on 64-bit arches.

But there is nothing in debian/control or debian/rules blocking build
on 32-bit arches. blosc2 support is not available, but the package
otherwise builds.

The armhf and i386 build logs say that python3-tables-lib
was indeed built,
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=pytables&arch=armhf&ver=3.11.1-2&stamp=1783293134&raw=0
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=pytables&arch=i386&ver=3.11.1-2&stamp=1783293086&raw=0

Where is python3-tables-lib for armhf and i386?

The missing package is causing dask debci tests to fail
on armhf and i386,
