FWIW, only the powerpc and s390 issues are regressions; the package
hasn't previously built on the other architectures.

The build fails with:

dh_install -pscilab-scimysql  
cp: cannot stat `./jar/': No such file or directory
dh_install: cp -a ./jar/ debian/scilab-scimysql/usr/lib/scilab-scimysql// returned exit code 1
make: *** [binary-install/scilab-scimysql] Error 2

This appears to be due to an issue earlier in the log:

        Building help...

Unfortunately I'm not sure what the underlying problem there is.
Maintainers?
