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.
