Dear Matthias,

thank you for forwarding us corrections from Ubuntu. I really appreciate it.

I do not understand the one from the abve URL. In short:

+  * debian/rules: Turn off parallel build for the rules file.
-MAKEFLAGS += $(NUMJOBS)
-	$(MAKE) $(MAKEFLAGS)
+	$(MAKE) $(NUMJOBS)

This just switches two variable names, but does not turn off parallel
build, isn't it ?

Have a nice day,
