+I was updating the smime series, and I decided to try it out. Build profiles seem\r
+to work in Debian Stable. For me this is old enough, so unless convinced\r
+otherwise, I'll gradually start using <!nocheck> for test suite only for\r
+test suite only deps. As a seperate issue, the packaging needs to be\r
+updated not to run the test suite when DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck.\r
