I am not sure how to handle these problems with my packages. Currently
there are two packages failing. detox and dnsproxy. dnsproxy should be
simply (moving config.status depend to build-stamp instead of build),
but with detox I don't really know what to do.

Relevant parts for detox are:
/usr/bin/install -c -d /tmp/buildd/detox-1.1.1/debian/tmp/etc
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file
`/tmp/buildd/detox-1.1.1/debian/tmp/etc/detoxrc.sample': No such file or
directory
make[1]: *** [install-sample-config] Error 1
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
/usr/bin/install: `/tmp/buildd/detox-1.1.1/debian/tmp/etc' exists but is
not a directory
make[1]: *** [install-base] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/buildd/detox-1.1.1'

So I assume the first install command for debian/tmp/etc was not
successful? I'm not very experienced with parallel builds and I cannot
reproduce this on my single-core-systems. So: Is there some
documentation or hints on how to make package building be parallel-safe?
