I understand the reasoning but it's nevertheless incorrect.
If you want to see a testsuite being run, you can ask the buildd maintainers
or test the package yourself. But you shouldn't arbitrarily override policy-defined
mechanisms so that a package behaves unexpectedly.
"nocheck" will remain activated as long as we're using qemu-user over qemu-system
which will be the case until the kernel on the affected architectures can use more
RAM on emulated systems.
