Hi all , Thanks for the suggestions.Using precomputed alignment and index files sounds like a good way to make the tests work better on all architectures. Should I go ahead and try this approach that Nilesh suggested? I can generate the files on amd64, add them to debian/tests/data, and include a short note in debian/tests/README.Debian to explain how the data was created. Let me know what i need to do.
