Nice!

This is an excerpt from the logfile of an upgrade jessie -> sid+local_packages:
(this should give a good simulation of jessie->stretch upgrades
after the packages have migrated to testing)

What's the meaning of exit status 141?
This seems to happen on all jessie->sid upgrade paths involving mariadb-server-10.0
The packages were built from my branch, so don't include your recent commits.

I did not encounter this for upgrades from stretch.
