I believe so, since apparently, even on the slow builders, given enough
time it completes successfully. I haven't checked this first-hand, though.

I can try. But probably the third one is the most important point.

Fair point. That's definitely might be something to fix in the
packaging. I'll try to check this thing. However, I will be away out of
town and without my usual computing resources for a few days (more or
less until next Tuesday), so I am not sure if I will be able to do this
quickly.

Thanks, Giovanni.
