In case this wasn't clear, the debian/rules file in this package has lines like: $(MAKE) -j 3 ... which is really a system dependent thing. Those builders who want parallel builds will invoke debian/rules itself with -j 3. I don't believe it belongs in the rules file itself. Perhaps, if a policy statement is not desired, a note to this effect should be put in the (to be created) packaging manual. -- Taral <taral@taral.net> Please use PGP/GPG encryption to send me mail.
