[PATCH v2 1/1] kbuild: deb-pkg: Build parallely with current dpkg-buildpackage

From: Bastian Germann
Date: Wed Mar 15 2023 - 12:30:06 EST


With dpkg-buildpackage v1.21.10 or later, the only way to build the
deb-pkg generated package parallely is adding -j<N> to the MAKEFLAGS
environment variable or using the --jobs-force option. The package ignores
the usual parallel build option that is described in Debian Policy §4.9.1.

Derive make's -j parameter from the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS environment variable
that ends up being set by dpkg-buildpackage -j<N>.
