I've tried to build around 10 times with --max-parallel=12 (causes
-j12) and I got around 2 builds to succeed.

This might be a red herring, but are you running sbuild with the
performance tweaks explained in the wiki[0], by any chance? I'm using
all of them.

As a datapoint, these build failures also happens/happened on buildd
and salsa, though those builds eventually succeed with retries.

Thanks,
