From: Christian Ehrhardt <christian.ehrha...@canonical.com>
By adding -j we build in parallel, to make building on multiprocessor
machines more effective. While that works it does also break
reproducible builds as the order of the sphinx generated searchindex.js
is depending on execution speed of the individual processes.
