Actually, you do support it. From debian/rules:
ifneq (,$(filter parallel=%,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)))
  NUMJOBS := -j$(patsubst parallel=%,%,$(filter parallel=%,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)))
endif
MAKEFLAGS += $(NUMJOBS)

I build with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=parallel=8. For this to work, all the
dependancies in your makefile need to be complete. Apparently, it's not
the case here: you are probably missing a dep on patch somewhere.

Since your package doesn't take a long time to build, please just drop
parallel build support (debugging those issues is complex, is not worth
it for "simple" packages).
