The right way to deal with it is to fix the problem. We've had a couple of
packages of late with this issue, in the case of some it's actually turned
out to be a real bug that was some how being masked on x86 too for some
reason.

In terms of testing or debugging probably the easiest way is to spin up an
image under qemu emulation, it's not the fastest but it works pretty well.
If there's anything else I can help with feel free to ask.
