Hi,

since this upload[1], we're getting a failure when building the armel
orion5x_network-console flavour:
| mkdns323fw -k ./tmp/orion5x_network-console/dns-323/kernel.uboot -i ./tmp/orion5x_network-console/dns-323/initrd.uboot -p 7 -c 1 -m 1 -o ./dest/orion5x/network-console/d-link/dns-323/netboot.img
| /usr/bin/mkdns323fw:73: invalid multibyte escape: /^\x55\xAA(.{7})\0\x55\xAA$/
| make[2]: *** [dns-323] Error 1

 1. http://packages.qa.debian.org/r/ruby-defaults/news/20140330T152352Z.html

Before that upload, I see traces of failures in the logs, but it appears
that didn't stop the build:
| mkdns323fw -k ./tmp/orion5x_network-console/dns-323/kernel.uboot -i ./tmp/orion5x_network-console/dns-323/initrd.uboot -p 7 -c 1 -m 1 -o ./dest/orion5x/network-console/d-link/dns-323/netboot.img
