No problem. You are doing great work with the continuous builds.

The issue with eatmydata has come up repeatedly [1]. Graham, do you
think adding Build-Conflicts: eatmydata to julia is sensible?

I wish dpkg had proper support for not syncing to disk. I diverted
dpkg in my sbuild chroots to use eatmydata for package installation
only. Unfortunately Build-Conflicts would break that use case, too.
