I'm not sure this would make any difference.. I mean, you can disable
all sorts of things - there's nothing special about skipping checks.

I think you may have misread my initial bug report.
It was never my claim that it was a FTBFS, more that an internet
connection is attempted in the first place ("Whilst autopkg builds
successfully [..]") which leaks privacy etc. etc.

But isn't that the whole point of the ci.debian.org/autopkgtest
service itself..?

In a normal system, of course, but I'm building *deliberately* to
find these issues so I will leave it uninstalled unless it is
Build-Depends.
