Splitting the build seems unnecessarily complicated.

I have pushed a patch, which should reduce the build time and hopefully
makes the package build on armel and mips64el again.  Currently these
builds are “killed ... after 150 minutes of inactivity”.

I assume that the build failures block testing migrations for the
package right now, thus I'd suggest to make a new upload of octave-interval.
