Hi Maintainer

A commit on 2023-08-01 [1] added a build-dependency on
libvbz-hdf-plugin-dev, which is not available on big-endian
architectures, and prevents r-bioc-rhdf5filters from building on s390x
[2], where it built previously, thus blocking migration.

The package libvbz-hdf-plugin does not build on big-endian
architectures [3] due to a missing build-dependency on
libstreamvbyte-dev, and libstreamvbyte itself FTBFS on big-endian
architectures [4].

According to:
reverse-depends --release sid --recursive r-bioc-rhdf5filters

r-bioc-rhdf5filters has many reverse-dependencies on s390x, so rather
than dealing with all of these, it may be simplest to fix
libstreamvbyte.

Regards
Graham
