Is there a way to improve the logic to either opt in or check the running matches the building gpu? On fedora we use an opt in for testing while building.
As per that code is guarded, you can set DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck to
opt-out. This approach is standardized by Policy § 4.9.1:
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#debian-rules-and-deb-build-options
Historically, this was (the only way) how tests were run before we had
autopkgtests.
We could make the code smarter by checking for a supported arch, but
that would tacitly accept the situation of an unsupported arch. Better
to just enable support.
Best,
Christian
