Hi Joey, In debhelper 7.4.4 parallel builds were enabled by default: > Changes: > debhelper (7.4.4) unstable; urgency=low > . > * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems cmake, autoconf, etc) > now supports parallel building by default, as specified via > DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.

This is a very intrusive change that apparently broke a build of libaqbanking, which is not at all ready for parallel builds: https://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=libaqbanking&arch=powerpc&ver=4.2.0-2&stamp=1258742157&file=log&as=raw As I understand it, I should now upload a modified package with --max-parallel=1 appended to the dh_auto_build call in my debian/rules. Right? Do you know how much packages else are affected? I guess its quite a serious number... I think you should advertise this important change more publicly, i.e. on d-...@l.d.o *before* uploading.
