If it really does '$(MAKE)', then you can just do 'make -j3 -f debian/rules build; fakeroot debian/rules binary' and the make flags will be passed down. Setting MAKEFLAGS might also work, and then you can use dpkg-buildpackage or debuild and avoid having to call the build and binary targets separately. If it just does 'make', file a bug report. :) -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
