I'm aware of this fact ind just contacted mips porters[1].  I had the
experience with several other packages that this is due to a not as
powerful enough build machine.  The build failure [2]

...
Running examples...
E: Caught signal ‘Terminated’: terminating immediately

could leat to the conclusion that this is the case here as well.  As I
explained in my mail to the mips porters[1] my personal solution to deal
with this would be to ask ftpmasters to remove the package for mips
architecture to enable a migration to testing.  I will wait until the
end of the weekend for any response to find a better solution before
I'll do this.

Kind regards

     Andreas.
