Slight correction: it runs 'make distcheck-light'. Eagle-eyed readers
may have noticed this in the logs already :-) e.g.:
http://buildbot.ghz.cc/public/nut/Debian-etch-PowerPC/builds/25/step-compile/0

Essentially, the more packages you have installed, the more coverage
testing we do. But I understand that some platforms don't need HAL
(it's probably not going on my Mac OS X machine anytime soon), and not
having a given package also verifies that the autoconf tests work in
the absence of that package.
