Arg, indeed.

You try to support parallel building (see top of debian/rules), but your
makefile doesn't support it (you are probably missing some dependencies
between rules, like the one between build-stamp and src/Makefile). I'd
suggest just removing support for this, since phyml doesn't take ages to
build anyway.
