Another option if the docs you are building are arch-independent, is
to split the package (nsis and nsis-doc). Then you'll just have to
build the docs on one arch (and it will be available on all).

This will not fix the real problem with halibut segfaulting on some
archs, but will save the buildds some compile time. :)

Have you tried to use the halibut package in Debian?
