The architectures still supported by Blender are a subset of
the architectures supported by OpenVDB, and building with
  SETVDB = ON
on arm64 gave me a successful build with a dependency
on libopenvdb.

Hi Antoine,

I am wondering why you changed only arm64, the main point of my bug
report was to reduce the delta between architectures.

Case in point, your change did not actually enable OpenVDB support on
arm64 due to this delta between architectures being in two places:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=blender&arch=arm64&ver=5.0.1%2Bdfsg-7&stamp=1791477118&raw=0
...
-- Could NOT find OpenVDB (missing: OPENVDB_LIBRARY OPENVDB_INCLUDE_DIR) 
-- OpenVDB not found, disabling WITH_OPENVDB
...

Hello Adrian and thank you for the feedback,

I'm sorry. I did realize it was a little weird to close this bug while not
entirely solving it. You mentioned testing arm64 in the bug, and since I
have an arm64 device, I took the "safe" approach. Matteo also suggested me
this approach.
If you guys all agree that it should be enabled for all architectures, I'm
happy to upload these changes.

Antoine

Hi Antoine,

as I wrote I only tested that it built on arm64 to confirm that OpenVDB
support does not seem to be amd64-only. No runtime testing was done
by me.

IMHO the safe approach is to default to minimixing architecture
differences where reasonably possible.

This bug was strictly about that, since such architecture differences
are sometimes affecting users and often result in build issues only
affecting some architectures.

In any case the bug is still open, since OpenVDB support is currently
still disabled even on arm64 - as is common for this kind of architecture
delta the architectures are hardcoded in both rules and control.

You are right and minimizing architecture differences sounds better to me
too.
I'll wait for a few days in case mfv wants to object, and then proceed with
another upload to close this issue for good.
