nocheck will be in 3.8.1 (see Bug#416450), but it doesn't really address your issue. > Maybe I overvaluated this issue.

There isn't anything about that in the upcoming Policy change. The assumption of the Policy change is that checks would be enabled by default; nocheck is available if for some reason one wants to disable those. The upcoming wording doesn't add a way to distinguish between build dependencies required for the build and ones required for testing. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
