You shouldn't upload them, but AFAICS dak wouldn't reject such an 
upload.

Perhaps we should add Lintian check for the Built-For-Profiles field, 
and ask ftp-masters to add the tag to the auto-reject list.

That said, the nocheck profile is supposed to have no effect on 
resulting binary packages, so probably uploading packages built with 
this profile activated wouldn't be a big deal...
