In what way do you consider this antisocial and what's speaking against
doing that? If it's about CPU time, then maybe it should obey the
parallelization setting of the build process. But then it's already a
build process and if you want that to not be detrimental to your desktop
performance, you nice it. Apart from that thing I really struggle to
find something "antisocial" in that build-dependency.

Kind regards and thanks
