I agree with that.

I think you did not understand my previous comment.

Currently debian/rules calculates the number of CPUs that should be
used according to available memory. If there is at least 13000 MB of RAM
available, a single CPU will be used and the build should work, provided
we allow it to run for whatever amount of time it needs.

Do Salsa CI runners have really less than 13000 MB of RAM?

(If that's really the case, then there would be a lot more packages failing).

Anyway, I don't like the wording at the top of the file, it sounds to
me as a "rant" (sorry to tell, but that's how it sounds to me).

Would you mind if I just disable the pipeline with a different (more simple)
wording as an explanation? I'm thinking about something in the line of "This
pipeline is currently disabled until someone manages to make it work".

Thanks.
