Yes, dh_auto_test is always run, but it turns itself into a noop when
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS contains nocheck.

I guess there should be a debhelper FAQ about this. A number of people
find the current debhelper behaviour unintuitive, but changing it would
be backwards-incompatible. Niels is probably tired of discussing this
already. ;)

Also lazy Laurent could have simply run the code to see whether it was
necessary. :-P
