Build with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nocheck" when testing for reproducibility?

Hi!

I noticed https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/mariadb.html
is failing on a single test failing in the test suite that runs after
the actual build. While the test should of course be made more robust,
I am not sure running those tests are relevant for testing
reproducibility as the tests don't affect the artifacts, so it would
actually make sense to skip those tests when testing for
reproducibility.

Is there some general technique to run specific packages with
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nocheck" in reproducible builds?


PS. I am not subscribed to list, please include me in replies.
