I agree on not adding more options and put the build/create metrics into gbp's internal logic. I was also thinking about a useful co-exitence between gbp and pristine-tar as it's pointless to add functionality of multi-threaded xz archive creation into gbp but pristine-tar can't care such tarballs correctly. I'm not fully sure how to proceed here, as it's currently more a problem of pristine-tar I think (given the timespan #869191 is opened). #869191 should be tagged to affect this report firstly?
