Since we don't set it in gtk+, DEB_MAKE_PARALLEL won't be set and thus -j8 won't be passed to make. If in the end make gets a -j8 flag, there is a bug somewhere, because that shouldn't be passed.

Right. Something else is probably picking on that option then, as I
can reliably reproduce the build failure when passing -j8. See
attached a copy of a failed build.

Oh, and it appears that the control file is being modified on the fly
and Martin Pitt is dropped from the Uploaders.
