Bug#754674: ovito: old binaries on armel/armhf

[Anton Gladky]

Hi Cyril,

thanks for bugreport. I actually requested package removal on
arm* platforms and it was already done [1]. The reason is the
impossibility to build a new ovito against Qt5 on arms due to
"-opengl es2" compiler flag, which is used for arms.

Then I asked debian-release team to have a look at this package [3],
but it seems, that only ftp-master can help to solve this problem
(CC-ing them).
