Let me clarify my view on this. I see a failure to build from source
when passing parallel=1 as an RC bug. However, I do not see a failure to
honour the requested parallelity as an important bug. When I request
parallel=1 and your package successfully performs a parallel build,
that's not an important bug in my view. There are a number of packages
in the archive doing this. As long as your workaround does not cause
random FTBFS (e.g. on slower buildds), I think it adequately addresses
the issue I raised and I'm happy with you closing the bug.

Leaving that aside, an unexplained segfault during build is probably
worth investigation (though not an RC bug either).

Is this something you can agree to?
