Ah, good finding!  Yes, I believe it would make sense to tag it
upstream.  My main concern was that the inconsistency in results
was seemingly visible on at least one other package.  The
difference was enough to zero all out in the mash related
kleborate test, but I probably should double check it's test
suite to make sure the bug is attributed adequately.

Kind Regards,

It looks like, in general, results are known to be different between
64bit and 32bit archs. I've looked at reported issues upstream and
found: https://github.com/marbl/Mash/issues/109

So I don't think this is necessarily a bug in Debian, we even address it
in https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/mash/-/blob/master/debian/

Should we tag this 'upstream'?

Cheers
