("Build-dep is not available" is a great deal more obvious than a mysterious message about a missing header, which a diligent maintainer will eventually be able to track back to this bug after maybe an hour of poking and prodding and searching the interwebs). Do you have a schedule for uploading a version of 1.58 with this patch applied, and/or uploading a 1.59 which would make this issue go away, at least for arm64. Is there anything we can do to help? (I guess a report saying that the patch was tested working on arm64 would be helpful). I see that the last upload migrated to testing only at the weekend, so I guess you were waiting for that to happen before uploading anew.
