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.

no longer affects: binutils (Ubuntu)
summary: - pkgbinarymangler slows down all builds, unnecessory
+ pkgbinarymangler runs in parallel and is confusing
