For comparison, I don't understand why "nocheck" would be a build profile. It doesn't change the produced binary packages, so build profiles don't seem like a good fit at first glance. Is the problem that 'nocheck' changes the build-time dependencies? Is it possible for a package to specify pre-upload checks that should run on autobuilders using autopkgtest, which would avoid having to have an DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS based ifdef for that?
