[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1116873: python-pybedtools: FTBFS with the nocheck build profile

Hi.

While fixing this bug I noticed that the nodoc profile does not work.
This can be checked easily by doing this:

sbuild -d sid --profiles=nodoc python-pybedtools

(Note: I will probably report this as part of an archive-wide rebuild)

I am curious about how it was supposed to work, because I see some
build-dependencies in d/control marked <!nodoc> but I don't see any
ifeq in debian/rules to build docs or not conditionally.

(When using dh > 13, dh_auto_test is automatically skipped if
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS contains "nocheck", I wonder if there is any kind
of similar magic for "nodoc")

Thanks.
