Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.15.8.10 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/bin/dpkg-buildpackage
When running dpkg-buildpackage on a multiprocessor machine it is usually desirable to use all the avalable procesors for build but it has to be selected by an option. Of course, there are situations when limiting the number of processors is desirable (eg. to leave some processors for other tasks or to build broken packages which don't build in parallel) and for this the -j<n> option can be used. I am asking here only for a default <n> that makes more sense.
