I remember that discussion. I will try not to break it, but don't beat me if I
do. I actually do not know how to test this on my local box.
That said, I disagree with the buildd admins rationale. If an architecture is
so slow that building Octave's _documentation_ makes a difference, we
shouldn't build Octave at all there. Following that kind of argumentation, no
package will ever build its documentation on a buildd and there will be
almost no QA for texinfo and friends on any architecture but x86 and AMD64.
