I can reproduce it every time.

My system is a QEMU/KVM virtual machine with 4GB RAM + 4GB swap running jessie.

I'm using sbuild 0.68.0-1~bpo8+1 from jessie-backports.

I call sbuild this way:

sbuild -A -d stretch signon-ui_0.17+15.10.20150810-2

The build happens normally but only until this point:

[...]
dpkg-genchanges: warning: package signon-ui-x11-dbgsym listed in files list but not in control info
dpkg-genchanges: binary-only upload (no source code included)
 dpkg-source --after-build signon-ui-0.17+15.10.20150810
 dpkg-buildpackage: binary-only upload (no source included)
-----------------------------------------------------------

At this point, it hangs and does nothing else.

When you finally kill the dbus-daemon process by hand, the remaining
build log appears:

-------------------------------------------
Build finished at 20160408-0111

Finished

[...]
-------------------------------------------

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
