Title:
  pkgbinarymangler runs in parallel and is confusing

Status in debhelper package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in pkgbinarymangler package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  pkgbinarymangler installs dh_builddeb wrapper.

  instead of actually doing all the things and then executing the real
  dh_builddeb, it instead only creates lockfiles, and then when
  dh_builddeb spawns dpkg-deb some of them are starved awaiting
  lockfiles.

  also the buildlog is very ugly, as it intermixes pkgbinarymangler
  output with inflight parallel invocations of the real dh_builddeb
  /dpkg-deb.

  also it seems to not check return codes from dh_builddeb. as it calls
  system{} without die, it should porbably instead do exec.
