The output Joey cites is awkward, I agree with him. But IMHO this is not the main issue here.
The default behaviour of GNU parallel in Debian diverts from all introductory documentation available. The config that is included in Debian just cost me an hour figuring out why parallel did not work for me as intended by its author. If one chooses to install GNU parallel one expects it to behave like GNU parallel. Please remove the option in /etc/parallel/config or maybe add a debconf question about this as a compromise (with --gnu as default).
