Bug#797544: please make Build-Depends: datefudge optional

Source: gnutls28
Version: 3.4.4.1-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: helmutg at debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap

Please allow building gnutls28 without having datefudge installed. The
package is only needed for running the test suite and it really is not
used when building with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck. Thus it can be marked
with <!nocheck>, a build profile specification complementing the option.
This would reduce the number of packages that need to be cross built to
bootstrap Debian, as datefudge would no longer have to be (uselessly)
built.

A patch implementing the requested feature is attached.
