This week I worked on several packages. While they didn't build in the Debian 
build system, I managed to compile most of them without any changes.

For one of the packages I found a thread explaining a possible reason:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=754751

So it looks like some packages just take too much time to build on some 
systems. After browsing the Buildd status page, it appears that this is the 
reason for failiure for a lot of packages.

The packages that I managed to build but fail to build in the Debian build 
system are:
chealpix
snappy-player
sdformat
lhasa

I was trying to fix the package pycurl, but somebody else fixed it before me.

I worked on the package haskell-chart. Same as haskell-nettle, it depends on 
GHCi which is not available for MIPS so it can not be built on MIPS.
