[PATCH v2] builddeb: parallelize debug module installation

From: Chris J Arges
Date: Mon Apr 27 2015 - 12:43:59 EST


When building the dbg package, we use a large 'for module in $(find' loop that
can be easily parallelized by using 'find | xargs'. This patch modifies this
loop to use the later paradigm.

In addition, ensure we add '-n1 -P0' to xargs to run as many processes as
possible.
