The missing piece of the puzzle is that to get what you want (no python
dependency) and also what I want (all the installed-tests compiled,
all the embedded test goo also present in the debug build binaries),
it is necessary to use --enable-embedded-tests for the debug build
instead of --enable-tests.

I have done this for dbus 1.11.10-2 in experimental, and confirmed that
it works with:

sbuild --host=armhf --build=amd64 -c sid-amd64-sbuild -d UNRELEASED dbus_1.11.10-2.dsc

So this will finally be available in buster.
