The goals of Build-Depends-Test are the same of "nocheck": faster
overall build time if you don't care about the test suite. In a sense,
"nocheck" can be complete only with Build-Depends-Test.
Then you can ask in which scenario you might want to skip test suite
to build faster, ... and I don't think buildds match that scenario.
Cheers.
