[libvoikko] HFST support to libvoikko in Debian and Ubuntu?

[Timo Jyrinki]

Yes, PASS is now at 6 for amd64/i386 and XFAIL 4, while no change
(other than FAIL 6 instead of FAIL 5) on other architectures.

By the way, if you don't have access to armhf/arm64 hardware, one can
also boot in emulator

(I have such a setup locally). It's very slow, but then again
hfst-ospell is not so huge source to compile to the point where tests
can be executed.

Anyway, I'll pass the torch to Tino for a while now. It'd be nice to
gets the tests situation resolved before August 18th
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YakketyYak/ReleaseSchedule) so that I could
get libvoikko 4.0.2 synced from Debian to Ubuntu. But if not, I may
consider forking the packaging so that libvoikko in Ubuntu stays with
HFST disabled, just to get the 4.0.2 bugfix/performance release to
Ubuntu too.
