valgrind-if-available (3.18.1-1-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Drop mipsel as valgrind disagrees about blah blah baseline Loongson.


This is wrong, and it makes at least qtmir FTBFS.

If there is any problem with valgrind on mipsel
it should be discussed and resolved in valgrind first,
if valgrind is available then valgrind-if-available
has to provide it.

It is also unclear what the baseline problem is this changelog
entry is referring to, there is no open bug in the valgrind package
mentioned and the closest I could find was a bug that was fixed (sic)
5 years ago.

It is also suprising if this is really a mipsel-only issue as the
changelog claims, I would have expected any issues to also show
up on mips64el.

Therefore please report any issues with valgrind on mipsel as bugs
against src:valgrind, but in any case please make valgrind-if-available
always provide valgrind on all architectures where it is available.
