Hi,
to deal with #877419 I'd suggest the following approach:
1. Ignore test suite errors on those architectures that are
known to fail (see attached patch, NOT TESTED, please review)
2. Drop severity of the bug from serious to important
3. Fix bug #877419 later but let pandas and its dependencies
(statsmodels and lots of others) migrate to testing
If you think this is a sensible strategy and you want me to upload
pandas with this patch I would also do
4. Move pandas to Debian Science as discussed before
Kind regards
Andreas.
