[pkg-apparmor] Bug#981205: apparmor: annotate Build-Depends with <!nocheck>

Source: apparmor
Version: 2.13.6-7
Tags: patch
User: debian-cross at lists.debian.org
Usertags: cross-satisfiability

apparmor cannot be cross built from source, because its Build-Depends
are not satisfiable. It also participates in dependency loops relevant
to architecture bootstrap. Rather than look into such difficult
problems, I looked into easily droppable dependencies and found that
dejagnu (kinda intuitive) and liblocale-gettext-perl (evident from the
bug report adding it) are used for testing. As such, both can be
annotated <!nocheck> and thus become irrelevant to cross building and
bootstrapping. Please consider applying the attached patch.
