Your package failed to build on arm64 with the following error.
Invalid configuration `aarch64-linux-gnu': machine `aarch64' not recognized
configure: error: /bin/bash ./config.sub aarch64-linux-gnu failed
Normally this is indicative of outdated config.guess/sub files.
I'm not sure why this was happening with your package though since AIUI
running dh_autoreconf on packages that use automake is supposed to
update them. To troubleshoot this I modified debian/rules to remove
config.sub and config.guess before running dh_autoreconf expecting to
get a failure but to my surprise the package built successfully (note
that my build was not in a minimal environment though). So I went ahead
and uploaded it to debian-ports unreleased.
Debdiff attatched, no immediate intent to NMU in debian proper but a NMU
may well follow later when the time comes to push arm64 into the main
archive.
