You may be aware that libdebian-installer is considered transitively build-essential. In practise, this means that it needs to be cross buildable. The most recent upload of version 0.100 added a new build dependency on check. The usage of check can already be disabled by setting DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck, which helps with cross building. However it still requires check to be installed and thus cross built. This can be avoided by marking the dependency as optional by adding a "<!nocheck>" build profile[1] to it. The nocheck profile is meant to complement DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck on the dependency level. To avoid confusion here, I note that the nocheck profile is in not related to the package check specifically. Thanks for considering Helmut [1] https://wiki.debian.org/BuildProfileSpec
