[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#578313: insighttoolkit: please support parallel building

[Lucas Nussbaum]

Source: insighttoolkit
Version: 3.16.0-2

Hi,

insighttoolkit takes a very long time to build. On my setup, the 10
packages that take the most time are (with build duration in seconds):

axiom 7036
qt4-x11 7050
python3.1 7255
gcc-4.4 7774
installation-guide 8141
mysql-dfsg-5.1 8445
life 9397
openoffice.org 11265
insighttoolkit 14791
atlas 29688

Please support building the package in parallel to leverage multicore
CPUs or SMP systems (see policy 4.9.1 for details).

I've seen the note in debian/rules saying that parallel building of
wrappers is broken. Is there really nothing we can do? Couldn't it be
possible to build most of the package in parallel, and then build the
wrappers sequentially, for example?
