I just started to run it, it does

running 861 tests using 4 parallel processes
and it run and it runs the fan of my laptop starts because of the danger
of overheating, I had to cancel it.


What do I miss?

You can run it without running the tests. It's actually relatively
likely that at least one of the tests will fail, and then the build
will also fail. I just tried it, and 3 of the tests failed.

I know how to do the build without running the tests for normal Debian
packages, but I'm not sure how to do it in this case. I suggest asking
on the mailing lists, or probably better, on IRC.

    DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nocheck" make deb

works for me.
