Could you take a look at the offending debian/rules? This is probably
because it's calling dh without --parallel.

>From `man dh`:

    If your package can be built in parallel, you can support parallel
    building as follows. Then dpkg-buildpackage -j will work.

    #!/usr/bin/make -f
    %:
        dh $@ --parallel


And from `man debhelper`:

    --parallel
        Enable parallel builds if underlying build system supports them.
        The number of parallel jobs is controlled by the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS
        environment variable ("Debian Policy, section 4.9.1") at build
        time. It might also be subject to a build system specific limit.

        If this option is not specified, debhelper currently defaults to
        not allowing parallel package builds.

I *think* the way this works is cdbs will figure out to set the
--parallel parameter on its own, but if our rules file doesn't do that,
it isn't going to happen. So, I think the core issue here is that the
documentation for dpkg-buildpackage is a little misleading, or at least
isn't as helpful as it really should be.
