popt fails to cross build from source, because its build dependency on
api-sanity-checker is unsatisfiable. In general, Architecture: all
packages can never satisfy cross Build-Depends unless marked Multi-Arch:
foreign. In this case however, api-sanity-checker is entirely
unnecessary, because it is only used for testing and we cannot test
during cross builds anyway. Thus annotating the dependency with
<!nocheck> is sufficient to get satisfiable cross Build-Depends again. I
used reproducible builds to verify that this change does not affect the
resulting binary packages. Please consider applying the attached patch.
