I wouldn't be surprised it the policy also required any package to fit 
on a 3.5" floppy. But most of the world uses neither floppies nor UP 
machines nowadays, so makefiles are expected to work fine with -j. If 
not, it's a bug.

But now you now got what you wanted, so the BS is super compliant, just 
a little bit unusable for building deb packages. *sigh*
