The dak command used in this email is misleading.
-A, --no-arch-all-rdeps Do not report breaking arch:all packages
or Build-Depends-Indep
Without -A you get:
# Broken Depends:
pandas: python-pandas
python3-pandas
And pandas is not a leaf package.
The removal you are requesting would make pandas no longer available on
these architectures.
Due to that that you would also remove all binary-any reverse
(build) dependencies.
As an example, testing migration of statsmodels is currently blocked by
missing builds due to non-installable pandas on the architectures where
you want to remove pandas.
What causes these FTBFS to appear is likely related to:
pandas (0.20.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium
...
- enabled back all the tests for now

This sounds as if pandas previously needed some fiddling with the tests,
and doing that again is likely a better option.[1]

but as short-term hack disabling some tests would be an option
