Package: debhelper
Version: 13.3.1
Severity: wishlist

With the increasing prevalence of DEB_BUILD_PROFILES, it would seem to
make sense for dh_auto_test to skip any tests if "nocheck" appears in
either DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS or DEB_BUILD_PROFILES.  Otherwise, it is very
easy to end up with a situation where a package fails to build if
DEB_BUILD_PROFILES=nocheck but DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS is empty.  To guard
against this is every package by conditionally overriding dh_auto_make
is silly; it would be much better to do it centrally.

Best wishes,
