distcc configuration is managed by debconf.

You must reconfigure this package with

sudo dpkg-reconfigure distcc

I'll upload a new package with 10 as daemon-jobs default.

I added comments in /etc/default/distcc to use dpkg-reconfigure to
configure distcc

Nothing new here. debconf configuration was already in distcc when I
started to be the maintainer in 2018
