My apologies, I knew the ppc64el buildd infrastructure was a bit
behind, so didn't look at this closely.  Upon further investigation, I
found that the dune-common transition is entangled with the Python
3.11 transition through opm-simulators.  We will either wait for
Python 3.11, or find a way to disentangle them.

I noticed there was an upload of opm-common 2022.10+ds-3, but it also
FTBFS on armhf.  I trust this is on your radar.

It would be good to have scipy 1.10 in testing before the start of the
soft freeze on 2023-02-12, because from that point, only small,
targeted fixes are appropriate [1].
