Can we please talk about the actual issue at and - that is not the license.
The issue is the number of developers engaging with this package have declined >to the point problems have gone unnoticed and unfixed for a long time.

For such a complex package I would expect 32bit breakage in everyIndeed, though at least for 32bit *build* issues they keep fixing them if I report them.
release if upstream no longer tests on 32bit.
The pragmatic option would be to run only a smoketest for build success
on architectures not tested by upstream.
And have Format->Character in Impress crash with Bus error like on mipsel? That doesn't sound too good for basic quality.
There is a "smoketest" but it does just basic start. open, close stuff. Not even basic usage.

For riscv64 I already pointed that out in the thread starting at https://lists.debian.org/debian-riscv/2023/06/msg00000.html, but for the other architectures there is the mail now. riscv64 is different because
the failures are even more big than any other down below and it's actually
a new architecture anyway.
