Package: autopkgtest
Version: 5.5
Severity: important

Currently, the binutils autopkg tests are disabled on the DebianCI
infratstructure, because the maintainers don't want to have a too long running
build.

The binutils autopkg tests include a binutils build, which should be triggered
when uploading a new glibc or gcc, however it's not necessary to build all
variants (multilib and cross binutils), so I'd like to disable these builds
during the autopkg tests.

Apparently the Ubuntu CI has an environment variable which can be asked for the
autopkg tests:

# only build the basic package when running the autopkg tests
ifneq (,$(ADT_TEST_TRIGGERS))
  CROSS_ARCHS :=
  with_hppa64 :=
  with_multiarch :=
endif

however the Debian CI doesn't set that.  So please either support running a
build with an environment variable set, or let an autopkg test run with a build
profile (e.g. autopkgtest).
