Hi,

Your package fails to build randomly on amd64: In the exact same
environment, sometimes it builds fine, and sometimes it fails.

Relevant part (hopefully):
> make[3]: Entering directory '/build/reproducible-path/crimson-0.5.3/locale'
> Makefile:495: warning: ignoring prerequisites on suffix rule definition
> make[3]: Nothing to be done for 'install-exec-am'.
>  /usr/bin/mkdir -p '/build/reproducible-path/crimson-0.5.3/debian/crimson/usr/share/games/crimson/locale'
>  /usr/bin/mkdir -p '/build/reproducible-path/crimson-0.5.3/debian/crimson/usr/share/games/crimson/locale'
>  /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 de.dat en.dat fr.dat hu.dat it.dat pl.dat sk.dat sr.dat tr.dat '/build/reproducible-path/crimson-0.5.3/debian/crimson/usr/share/games/crimson/locale'
