I grabbed it from incoming, if I had waited for it to be installed, you
might have won ;-)
But this time I registered it with wanna-build, if you want to build it
yourself, just register it and its yours.

Ouch. Does that mean 8% of 46h is the time you actually needed for the
build? Or NBD took 8% out of that for its own purposes?
cts@aahz:~/logs>avg-pkg-build-time xfree86
xfree86: 26:04:38 (6 entries, sigma 05:46:35)
cts@aahz:~/logs>avg-pkg-build-time -s xfree86
xfree86: 931808k (1122525k lastest)
Now did the debug patch give you any insight as to where we have to start
fixing?
