Hi, Thanks for providing guess-concurrency, it's a clear improvement over the number of open-coded equivalents in many debian/rules file. That said, I have observed that MemAvailable is sometimes significantly lower than expected on some build daemons. I have tracked that to the use of tmpfs as the build directory (which by the way is the default in sbuild): until the data is flushed to the swap, the corresponding memory amount disappears from MemAvailable. This causes the number of jobs to be reduced for no real reason (the memory is still be available for build), especially for packages with big sources. Could you please consider using MemTotal instead? I think it represents better the amount of memory a build daemon is able to use. Regards Aurelien
