It's a warning, not an error. > Do we really need to write `--parallel' everywere in a debian/rules > file? I have several packages using dh 7 overriding some commands.

I think it would probably be ok if debhelper stopped cleaning -j from MAKEFLAGS in the --parallel case (not the --max-parallel=n or default cases). -- see shy jo
