Apologies for late response. It looks like the issue is related to the 
synchronization between atop and atopacctd. I am looking into it further and 
will keep this thread updated.

I am looking forward to have a fix for this for s390x.

Ack, I saw the latter part.

If you think the package indeed is severely broken, then removal sounds
best. If its broken in some less common use cases, it may be OK to leave
it for now (skipping those tests on 390x) and let the porters have a
look when they have time.

It all depends on how broken it is. If you would consider the bugs found
by the tests RC, then removal is the better choice unless a porter steps
up to fix it. If the bugs would be important at most, than skipping
broken tests on s390x sounds like the better option. Removal bugs are
hard to time predict.

PS: I would not disable building on s390x if you have the test suite
finding out severe problems (as the d/control file doesn't have negated
architecture fields yet). Just getting the binary removed and FTBFS will
prevent the architecture from building again.
