If there are actions before or after dh_auto_test then it may still be
"unsafe":  I've seen package running `make -C test` before dh_auto_test,
that one should be skipped if DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck.
Or that try to move some test artifact after dh_auto_test: that would
actually cause a ftbfs if dh_auto_test did nothing.
The only "safe" cases of command that are fine to run in an
override_dh_auto_test are : and echo (if not redirected to a file).
