Glancing over some of the failed build logs, suprisingly many of them
seem even be caused by broken debian/rules files.
I'm suprised stuff like
| build-arch: unpack-stamp patch-stamp configure build-arch-stamp
| build-arch-stamp:
| ...some commands...
actually works with -j1. (Well, it will only work when special targets
are specified).
I think going after such errors has much more advantages than just
allowing hosts with multiple processors to build faster, such stuff
should never be allowed to sneak in.
Hochachtungsvoll,
