It's true that my build machine uses parallel builds since I found it drastically reduces the build time for samba, by far the buggest package I'm building. Now, I have a script for non parallel builds, then..:-) You probably had better put parallel=4 into DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS and use only one script. That way, packages that support it will use parallel builds automatically. See Policy ยง 4.9.1.

retitle 682285 postfix: parallel build not supported severity 682285 wishlist thanks On 2012-07-21 03:13 +0200, Christian Perrier wrote: Package: postfix Version: 2.9.3-2 Severity: serious postfix strangely fails to build from source on my build machine (in a pbuilder chroot which I use for all my builds) where I was trying to build an l10n NMU which I announced a few days ago. The failure is quite strange and might need more analysis which I'm unfortunately: - not able to do alon - not in position to ask for help doing so as I'm half-VAC for still a few days So, I hereby attach the build failure log. Maybe someone will be able to dig into it. I can reproduce it under dpkg-buildpackage -j4, which is what you've been using. However, the package does not announce support for parallel builds, and a non-parallel build succeeded here. Thus lowering the severity. Building arbitrary packages in parallel is not a good idea since it can easily result in misbuilds.
