I am not sure - my plan was to have policy say that *if* there is a testsuite and *if* the maintainer chooses to run it during build and *if* the maintainer wants to allow the package builder to skip the testsuite during build, it should support DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck. You seem to want to make it more strict than that - maintainers should always support nocheck when a testsuite is run (skipping the last if above)? That might be something you'd have to discuss with the release managers, or bring up again on -devel (or -policy) under a more prominent subject to catch the interest of others.
