Hi Helge,

yes, you've reached the right list. Thanks for your report, even though I was

Right. The problem effected some 2000 packages which were marked as failed on 
piuparts.debian.org ;-) I've fixed that now by using "--skip-minimize" when 
calling piuparts, as the chroots should be minimal anyway.

Your package is scheduled for a new piuparts test now.

http://wiki.debian.org/piuparts/FAQ is the place to go.
