This applies only to some architectures which have few users, it would be a
pity to lose tests for archs that are ok.
A plan maximum would be to make the kcov B-Dependency arch-dependant:
Build-Depends: kcov [amd64 arm64 armel armhf i386 ppc64el powerpc ppc64 x32]
with dh_auto_test having an:
if which kcov >/dev/null; then dh_auto_test; fi
but this requires a bit of testing on different archs.

The package is arch:all, and no one really is going to build it on some
obscure architecture. After all, the code has no compiled parts.
Thus, I'd just ignore the problem.
Debcheck has a load of other false positives anyway.
