Well, libraries like quantlib might end up somewhere low in the
build-dependency chain, where some actually usefull-on-slow-cpu app
needs QL to to build. For example something like gnucash. The other
problem is that ftp-masters and release maintainers measure archs by
"how much of the archive is built and up-to-date on the arch".

So, I don't think blocking slow packages like QL from building is a good
idea. Just be careful when uploading, make sure that there is not stupid
mistakes which would cause to reupload immeadetly.
