Hi, 

The build is effectively huge because it builds 4 flavours (2 python versions, 
normal+debug) and the build time and disk space are not things I can really 
reduce.

As for the build logs being huge I filed a bug on the upstream BTS to see if 
they have a brilliant idea to reduce their size.

By the way, I'm not uploading packages with the intent to burn time, CPU cycles 
and for them "just to fail": I can't predict test failures on foreign 
architectures when upstream produces a new tarball. In order to avoid wasteful 
uploads, I just disabled the criticality of the tests to not FTBFS after having 
produced these huge logs (the -2 should land soon).

Cheers,

OdyX
