On one hand we could drop the parallel building support but on the other hand we would limit those who try out massive parallel building. An even simpler solution would be by not passing on DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=parallel=<n> from the caller program, e. g. omitting -j<n> from dpkg-buildpackage. Furthermore I am not even sure if the issues are actually caused by the parallel building. I also experienced failures during the test stage in case of non-parallel building, although these failures only occurred very rarely. As far as I recall a mismatch of the calling convention (stdcall) was identified by me as likely candidate for the failures. I would need to dig out the change from the experimental unicode patch pushed into the git repository. So I tend more to keep the parallel building support. However I am undecided.
