Hi Giuseppe,

I've built this in a squeeze chroot and a dedicated squeeze machine,
and all seems to go fine.  A couple things could be going wrong.  One
is that webkit needs about 3 GiB to build, so you may have run out of
disk space.  The second is that webkit doesn't build twice right now.
There are some files that get left behind in the docs directory.  I
usually just wipe and start from scratch if I need to rebuild.

Let me know if I can be of any more help,
Mike
