No hurry, the latest build is still running, we don't want to wast two days
of building, do we? If you find a fix, it is sufficient if it is included in
the next upload. Maybe doc building does not take that much time after all,
the buildd is still crunching on c++ code. As for the metafont runs, they
might actually have to be created for every build, since a "good" buildd is
cleaning up the chroot after the build, and since TeX is not build
essential, the compiled fonts might be removed as well. A "very good" buildd
actually starts every build from fresh chroot which has never seen a TeX
installation, but we don't do that on m68k, since creating the chroots takes
more time than simply removing all build-depends after the build.
