+hi notmuch people--
+
+debian/control's build-dependencies list a bunch of things that i think
+are only relevant for running the tests (e.g. dtach -- and maybe emacs
+and bash-completion and other packages).
+
+These should be marked <!nocheck> so that dpkg-buildpackage can know to
+ignore them when trying to build with BUILD_DEB_OPTIONS=nocheck.
+
+This is called a "build profile", if you want to look up more about it:
+
+  https://wiki.debian.org/BuildProfileSpec
+  https://bugs.debian.org/757760
+
+I'd send a patch, but i'm not entirely sure which packages are strictly
+for the build-time tests, so i hope someone with more experience with
+the debian package can mark them appropriately.  Thanks!
+
+Regards,
+
+       --dkg
