would you be willing to submit a merge request / patch for it? The merge
request can go directly against upstream:

Bug#1066890: rdma-core: don't build docs on minor arches (-DNO_MAN_PAGES=1)

Source: rdma-core
Version: 50.0-2
Severity: normal

rdma-core does not build on minor architectures, since pandoc is not
available.

pandoc is only needed for documentation (man pages).  It might be
possible to only build docs for arch-indepdent builds, then using
Build-Depends-Indep: pandoc 

In any case the rdma-core docs (man pages actually) are controlled by
NO_MAN_PAGES in CMakeLists.txt. What would be needed is to configure
cmake with -DNO_MAN_PAGES=1 on the minor architectires (if not all
binary-arch builds) to avoid or reduce the footprint of the pandoc
Build-Depends.
