This might be some reason.  But I wonder how this might happen in
a clean pbuilder chroot?  Shouldn't this in all cases the same and
"his" system should be the same as "my" system?

My guess is that there are some problems with parallel builds (which
sounds probable because a rebuild of the complete Debian system is done
on a larger cluster).  I know that there were problems reported about
parallel builds with grind and so I disallowed parallel builds
explicitely in the grind subdir previousely.  I now extended this
approach to the whole package in

   debian/patches/90_prevent_parallel_build.patch

and closed the bug in the hope that the problem might be fixed which
might hopefully proven in the next rebuild run.  I can not find another
difference in the build process of Lucas and mine/yours.  That's why
the bug is closed in wordnet 3.0-20 (and I hope this is correct).

Kind regards

          Andreas.
