No one's using a 1-core conventional computer these days.  By failing to set
parallel=X you gain nothing but wait much longer, and miss issues like this.

Why won't you put "export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=parallel=8" into your ~/.bashrc?
It's not like your number of cores changes, and even if it does, you can
export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=parallel=`nproc`

(Please don't use `grep ^processor /proc/cpuinfo` nor `getconf
_NPROCESSORS_ONLN` as neither is portable enough.)

raspberries, 0.4kg sugar; put into a big jar for 1 month.  Filter out and
throw away the fruits (can dump them into a cake, etc), let the drink age
at least 3-6 months.
