[Users] build of debian on Parallels on mac

Most thorns support a XXX_DIR=NO_BUILD option which then (depends on the
thorn) may require you to actually specify the location of the libraries
or may still allow searching for it. Basically all auto-detection (with
the exception of MPI which also seems to fail here) should fail on
modern Debian/Ubuntu systems that support "multi-arch" installations
since the libraries are no longer in /usr/lib but in /usr/lib/x86-amd64
or so. Bruno was working on fixing this before the last release but the
results were too fragile to be included in the current release branch.

Yours,
Roland
