Thank you for the clarification!  Hm, I wonder if there aren't very
many mipsel build hosts, or if it's just that they're very slow?  If
the problem is that there aren't enough, I wonder if it would be
useful to write a wiki page linked to from "ways to contribute to
Debian" detailing the process of how to repurpose an old router as a
buildd host. ;-)

Cheers,
Nicholas
