Package: virglrenderer
Version: 0.8.2-2

Hi,
we were seeing 4/6 self-tests of virglrenderer fail on Riscv64.
This isn't the most common and thereby the most supported platform in
general. And especially neither for GL in general and even less for
virt-GL - so I'm not sure if anyone really cares a lot for risc.

So quite often when running into issues like that one has to decide to either:
a) stop building the package for that architecture
or to
b) make the tests ignore the issues to allow experimentation (if
anyone will even use it) and out of that some proper more detailed bug
reports.

A coworker of mine was doing the latter (b) for virglrenderer in
Ubuntu and I wanted to pass that packaging improvement to you. It
isn't as good as actually fixing the underlying issue, but no one had
the time and HW so far to take that deeper look.

To me it seems that (a) as well as (b) would be better than just
letting it fail.
Therefore an MP carrying the change as applied in Ubuntu to Debian
would be available at [1] for your consideration.
