It shouldn't be a problem. The only minor itch I can see is that dpkg is non-parallel, so if several build processes finish at around the same time and all try to invoke dpkg, the first process to invoke dpkg will succeed and the rest will fail. Dpkg locks the files when it's working on the database, so there's no risk of corruption, but you will have to reinstall the other packages (no recompile necessary).

You might actually have to rebuild some package, dpkg takes lock even to build the .deb, not just install it. If the deb isn't built, you gotta rebuild.

Still, i do it all the time. :)
