hmm yes, you are completely right. And also I think --jobs is the better choice here. I did some research ;), and it seems I changed it from --jobs to env back in 2013 due to <=etch compatibility issues: commit 355893eb0202f507246569a0b922e89474f27369 Author: Stephan Sürken <abs...@debian.org> Date: Thu Jan 3 17:02:26 2013 +0100 builder: Use env. DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS='parallel=N' instead of 'd-p -jN' (Fixes: Builds for <= etch). Will fix the doc in stable (1.0.x), and switch to '--jobs' again in current development. Thanks! Stephan
