Oh, that's something new (for the value of "new" of "added upstream on 2009-11-06, to Debian in 8.1-1 for squeeze"). Good to know.export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=parallel=`grep ^processor /proc/cpuinfo|wc -l`Refuse the temptation to parse /proc/cpuinfo. Use nproc(1) instead.
For pre-squeeze, there's "getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN".And for stretch, there's "dpkg-buildpackage -Jauto" (not to be confused with -jauto, which is evil).
