vilistextum fails to cross build from source, because it fails running
tests despite DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck. They're actually run twice -
once via dh_auto_build and once via dh_auto_test. The default target
happens to depend on the check target. While dh_auto_test honours
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck, dh_auto_build doesn't expect to run a test
suite. I suggest updating the upstream Makefiles to decouple these.
Doing so makes vilistextum cross buildable. Please consider applying the
attached patch.
