override_dh_auto_test-does-not-check-DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS

The debian/rules file for this package has an override_dh_auto_test target that does not appear to check DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS against nocheck.

As this check is not automatically performed by debhelper(7), the specified testsuite is run regardless of another maintainer using the nocheck build option.

Please add a check such as:

override_dh_auto_test:
ifeq (,$(filter nocheck,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)))
        ./run-upstream-testsuite
endif

Lintian will ignore comments and other lines such as:

# Disabled
: Disabled
echo "Disabled"
mkdir foo/
ENV=var dh_auto_test -- ARG=value

This check is not required in Debhelper compat level 13 or greater (see Bug#568897).

Severity: info
Experimental: false
