Given ruby-minitest is a test runner, and that when cross compiling
tests should not be executed, any packages only used to run tests should
be marked as <!nocheck> in the build dependencies.

On the other hand, I see 130+ packages that build-depend on
ruby-minitest, so maybe doing this could be a shortcut.

Can you ellaborate on the context in which this was necessary in Ubuntu?
