We could try to get this resolved upstream, but they already release packages for a large number of distributions so might be reluctant to double the number of CI jobs they run...

Yes, we can open an issue but as you said they might be unwilling to do so. I now have a dedicated GitHub runner that runs on ARM64. I will try to setup a job to produce the graphviz.deb for ARM64.

As a side note, smoke tests indicate that something does not work as expected with GraphViz 8.0.4. Not sure if they follow semantic versioning but that's quite a big jump from 2.42 (or 3.0) to 8.0 😅
Since this is the latest version, I'm willing to accommodate the code to make it work with GraphViz 8+

I need to build GraphViz on arm64 and then we are good to go :)
