Yes. Normally a bug like this ("package will not build") is a serious bug, but in this case it seems like it's "package will not build in slightly-nonstandard environment". > Does there happen to be any "input" log for that log?

See Sven's mail: Sven Joachim writes ("Re: Where can build scripts be found?"): > This seems to be a recurring problem in Mozilla's build process, it > fails because SHELL is not set in the environment. You can work around > that by passing --preserve-envvar=SHELL to debuild. In the meantime this should be worked around in the Debian packaging, by setting and exporting SHELL in debian/rules. I would try adding export SHELL=/bin/bash somewhere near the top of debian/rules. If that fixes it, you should send the diff to the Debian bug system and tag your bug "patch". Ian.
