This means that:

a) Upstream don't support parallel make install
b) Reject patches fixing any bugs in parallel make install

This means the Upstream-Status should be rejected with the link above,
not pending. It also means we may need to think about not using
parallel install although since its working, its tempting to carry
patches and keep using it if it works.

It may be worth pointing out to upstream that it is mostly working for
us? I am a little worried they know something we don't about problems
this could run into.

Cheers,
