From the top of my head, the main thing is that it sort-of fail to build
twice in a row, because of the massive things it does during clean.
Sometimes I can change something in the package (for uploads to my PPA)
sometimes I can not even change the changelog alone. I don't understand
why it fails SOMETIMES. Because I don't understand what they are doing
in the rules file, I can not really tell what my problem with the file
is, or else I would have done so myself, as I follow the debian
packaging as well.

I just wanted to yet you know, when I tried some time ago to build the
package on my i386 I get the same failure of the man page fpc.1 patch.
Because I couldn't fix it (didn't try long) I let it be and uploaded the
debian package straight to my PPA instead of my usual changes to the
maintainer and such.

Sorry that I am a little vague on this one, it is just a too complicated
package for me to understand.
