Yes, that should work (though you only need to do it for dh_auto_build;
everything else can still be parallelised). It would be nice to be able to fix
the generated Makefile, but the package is small enough that it won't make much
difference, and I fear that would be a pain given it's all generated by
automake. In fact, there's an open bug for this[0] which even has a comment
from you from 2009 :)
