This applies only to some architectures which have few users, it would be a pity to lose tests for archs that are ok. A plan maximum would be to make the kcov B-Dependency arch-dependant: Build-Depends: kcov [amd64 arm64 armel armhf i386 ppc64el powerpc ppc64 x32] with dh_auto_test having an: if which kcov >/dev/null; then dh_auto_test; fi but this requires a bit of testing on different archs. > Does this make sense? > (Does this problem has any importance at all?) The package is arch:all, and no one really is going to build it on some obscure architecture. After all, the code has no compiled parts. Thus, I'd just ignore the problem. Debcheck has a load of other false positives anyway.
