Hello Steve, I would rather use DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck for that. There are a lot of cross-compiling situations where the condition $(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE)" "!=" "$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE)" is true but the system can execute both kind of binary, for example cross-compiling for i386 on amd64, or using binfmt and an emulator, etc. In that case it is better to run the test-suite.
