 I think it's a good idea; if you think the build-deps for the test
 suite are too large to be in Build-Depends, perhaps you can simply rely
 on them being installed on your machine and run the testsuite but
 ignore failures:
run_testsuite || true
 but generally packages have the bdeps for the testsuite they run.

 Also, make sure you honor nocheck in DEB_BUILD_OPTS.

You could try autopkgtest.

Aside from reducing build dependencies, you can also re-test the package
as the dependencies are upgraded.
