On closer inspection, the problem appears to be an attempt to support -j via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. In debian/rules: # Support multiple makes at once ifneq (,$(filter parallel=%,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS))) NJOBS := -j $(patsubst parallel=%,%,$(filter parallel=%,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS))) endif And later, lines like # system build $(MAKE) -C $(CURDIR)/system-build $(NJOBS) If I remove these references to NJOBS, debuild -j4 works fine. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
