I also would like to know the answer for that question.

How does a package which needs a higher limit to build is supposed to
override this?

The above two packages FTBFS for me on stretch and the problem goes
away by setting "DefaultTasksMax=infinity".

But we don't have anything like "Build-Depends: DefaultTasksMax >= 1024".

I'm using a hand-made autobuilder which is triggered by cron, asks a
server for a package to build and uses sbuild to build the package.
Should I override this for the cron service only?

Thanks.
