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