This ends up in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=parallel=16 being set and the call:
/usr/bin/make -f ./Makefile ARCH=x86 	KERNELRELEASE=6.3.0-rc2 KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION=1 	olddefconfig all

So it is not used to run the actual build, just the top level `make -f debian/rules` invocation.
You can set --jobs-force=16, which ends up in MAKEFLAGS but the point of the patch is that one can use
the usual way of parallelizing.

Side note: Without the patch, the build is run with -j1 regardless of being called from the Linux Makefile
or dpkg-buildpackage.
