Thanks for all the work.

I have one particular question regarding octave-interval. The build produces two binary packages: octave-interval and octave-interval-doc. The latter is architecture "all" and multi-arch "foreign". However, it is build by all architectures.

Since version 3.1.0 building the documentation takes a lot of time and timeouts on some build environments, e. g., armel. Of course this should be optimized upstream.

Would it make sense to build octave-interval-doc  only on few architectures where the build environment has more resources?
