We notice buffer

OK, fine. But maybe add timestamps to the buffer by default.

I don't think I understand what you are saying.

Could you please elaborate on what problem it is that you are seeing, or
what feature you are suggesting?

I'm just saying at first glance it looks like something looping because
there are 145 identical line
>> $ sort|uniq -c|sort -nr
>> 145 Loading debian-ispell...
>> 145 Loading /var/cache/dictionaries-common/emacsen-ispell-dicts.el (source)...

But OK, each time a process gets handed back the CPU it prints a message
again. Necessary?
If necessary then at least a timestamp could be added to such lines.
If the timestamp turns out to be the same, that means there is some
bigger problem.

Maybe not, but then again that should probably be taken up with the
Debian developers, not us.

Are you suggesting that we should print a timestamp each time we start
and/or finish a compilation?  I don't see that it would be very useful,
myself.  The buffer you are looking at should only contain debugging
information, none of which is time sensitive.

So I don't think this is something that we want to do, and I'm closing
this bug report.
