Bug#1050769: greetd FTBFS with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck: does not perform the build

Justification: nocheck FTBFS is serious since trixie

greetd fails to build from source, when DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS contains
nocheck. A build ends as follows:

Note that nothing is ever built. debian/rules suggests that it attempts
to build using dh_auto_test, but given a high enough compatibility level
dh_auto_test honours DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck. You probably need to run
dh_auto_build at some point.

This packages uses dh-cargo, which doesn't implement a build() method, making dh_auto_build a noop for us. IMHO it is a dh-cargo bug (see #1053556[1]) which must be fixed before greetd's debian/rules can be updated to use dh_auto_build.
