Hi Ilya,
see comments below mixed with your email. You are building R14.1.0-DEV right?

Under TDE_SRC/2_build/debs/<module>/src you will find a detailed build log of the module, so you can see what went
wrong for that specific module

- -l is used to build a module locally on your live system. It is mostly useful if you are testing changes and want to
do quick local builds. It is not recommended to use it to build a clean TDE since it depends on locally install
modules and build may fails if you don't update step by step

Yes, that is correct.

This is done by pbuilder as long as everything has been setup correctly. A pbuilder hook script is used to scan the
"debs" folder before building each module, specifically the D05deps script.

As said above this is not recommended and in some unlucky case you may not even be able to build TDE from within TDE.
If you want to use -l you need to install the various .deb by yourself in your system before proceeding with the next
package. "-l" does not create clean chrooted modules, so think of it as a development tool/commodity.

I may be saying something wrong here going by memory, but I think I have already addressed this issue in my scripts.
Am I wrong?

the various build set have been thought as a way to automate building of multiple modules, so they normally continue
in case of a build failure. You will need to edit the scripts and look at the result returned by build_module and stop
in case of a fault.
Perhaps an idea to consider for future improvements :-)

It is probably a corner case of the scripts when missing dependencies are detected. I have seen something like this
from time to time as well, not often enough to bother me to the point to work on it yet :-D

Don't use "-l" in this case. you can use the build TDE script and grep the build_result.log file for "FAILED". That
will tell you if any package has failed the build process.

If you need further info, please let me know.
Btw, I have not yet come around the meta package building. I am under very heavy work load and for a while have very
limited time for TDE unfortunately :-(

Cheers
