Isn't it time to make all libraries use hlibrary.mk and remove support for
dh_haskell_install et al?  This would eliminate this kind of sync problems.

I think it was removed because it needs an extra work, to generate the
Makefile, and then call it with -jN.  I implemented this, and Kaol disabled it
because of this problem.  Now I think that, while Cabal doesn't support
parallel build, we should not support it too, instead of using a Makefile
hack.  So, for me, we should disable parallel support at all.

Gutten Morgen.
