[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#836283: genometools: Please honor parallel=X in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS (for the tests)

[Santiago Vila]

Package: genometools
Version: 1.5.9+ds-2

Hi.

This is probably not related at all to my other bug about FTBFS with
low memory, so I'm reporting it as a separate bug.

I found this in debian/rules:

override_dh_auto_test:
        bin/gt -test
        cd testsuite; ./testsuite.rb -keywords 'gt_sketch and not gt_python and not gt_ruby' -threads 3

I set DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS = 'parallel=1' in the environment to build
packages, so I expect that no more than one CPU is used in the build
process (including the tests).

But the tests run with "-threads 3", so DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS is
apparently not honored.

Thanks.
