Control: tags -1 pending running the unit tests during build has side-effects, it creates the files that are installed into mintest-data (arch:all).
Those files are needed for autopkgtest. If the arch:all package would be created with nocheck active, this would break autopkgtest for all other builds, unless the arch:all package is reuploaded. IOW, nocheck cant be used for this package. To workaround, and make the release team happy, I will run the unittests, if nocheck is enabled, in the build stage and just ignore errors, if there are any. -- tobi
