As I only have access to amd64 machines, I cannot help, unfortunately. I'm sorry for maybe not understanding Debian (which is very well possible). I'm only interested in amd64, which means that from my point of view there should be no reason why the amd64 pandas should be held up by bugs on other architectures.
