You're right just realized that's something hardcoded in debian/rules. I thought it must
be something dynamically matched or from somewhere else in the build process. I should get
a bit more sleep maybe. ;)

I think that should work, build is still running somewhere were bandwith is
cheap but the disk is rather slow. (I'm currently working with mosh over a
bi-directional sat link.) Though I'm not 100% sure if the {xhtml,png}
stuff is POSIX sh compatible.
