no worries, let's finish this :)

what I meant was something like this:
--- cl-asdf-3.1.6/debian/rules 2016-02-29 14:58:34.000000000 +0000
+++ cl-asdf-3.1.6/debian/rules 2016-02-29 17:24:45.000000000 +0000
@@ -7,7 +7,7 @@
dh $@
override_dh_auto_build:
- $(MAKE)
+ dh_auto_build
$(MAKE) -C doc all
ln -sf build/asdf.lisp .
but I see it's indeed pointless. dh_auto_build calls `make -j1`, which
is in no way an improvment. Actually, it may be clearer to see make(1)
being called in d/rules rather than hiding it under dh_auto_build, in
this case.

Ok, fine.
A couple more things I'd like to see before uploading:
* in the meantime a new version of policy is out, 3.9.7. Check whether
your package is still compliant [0] and if so bump Standards-Version
* in d/changelog, there should be a blank line between the first line
with the package name and the version, and the changelog text
Then, it's good to go :)
