[Bug 893826] Re: symlinked docs are different between architectures, depending on dpkg-deb package order

[Martin Pitt]

debhelper's dh_builddeb is predictable, it processes packages in the
order they appear in debian/control. The problem in this particular case
is that qt4-x11 runs them all in parallel:

   dh_builddeb -u -Zlzma -O--parallel
INFO: pkgstriptranslations version 106
INFO: pkgstriptranslations version 106
INFO: pkgstriptranslations version 106
INFO: pkgstriptranslations version 106
INFO: pkgstriptranslations version 106
INFO: pkgstriptranslations version 106
INFO: pkgstriptranslations version 106
INFO: pkgstriptranslations version 106
[...]

That's what makes the build order unpredictable.
