Oh, yes, absolutely - I was thinking only of tools like shellcheck here,
not -Werror. Yes, I agree that if -Werror is in-scope for a
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS flag (whether it's called nolint or nofatalwarnings or
whatever), it wouldn't make much sense for nocheck to disable -Werror.
I think if we say that nocheck MAY disable some or all lint checks,
that covers everything? (It will often disable shellcheck while not
affecting -Werror, but a MAY allows that).
