If N is 1, parallel building is disallowed.
In other words from debhelper user perspective, the primary option should be to turn parallel on (i.e. enable parsing of DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=parallel=n and acting on it appropriately without further limitations). I'm proposing --parallel for this. Negation could be a standard --noparallel if there is a need for it. Maximum concurrent jobs limitation is only a secondary option which will probably be rarely used (but is needed to have a complete interface). So --max-parallel=N could be used for that (and it would imply --parallel if N!=1 to keep things short). -- Modestas Vainius <modes...@vainius.eu>
