As far as I understand the policy, parallel builds are not mandatory. I also did not defined parallel=n in the rules file or in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
dpkg-buildpackage does it for you. If you do not define DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS, it's assumed parallel=n where n is the number of CPUs. So naturally we have to be ready for our packages to be built on systems with more than one CPU. But as I said before: Disabling parallelism is completely ok, and in fact, it's also the policy followed by the GNU project, according to a recent conversation I had with Bruno Haible (gettext upstream). GNU maintainers are encouraged to support parallel builds, but they are allowed to disable it if the program is not ready for that. Thanks.
