Bug#209008: parallel building: DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS or DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS_PARALLEL
The proposed policy suggests "that the package should be built using
up to <tt>n</tt> parallel processes". Please clarify:
- The package should not build using more than <n> processes. If
parallel=1 is used, the build should be sequential. This would
give buildd maintainers some way to control the build process.
- What to do if that option is not present? Should a package be
allowed to build in parallel anyway, determing the number of
processes itself, or should it be a sequential build?
