How do we disable dh_auto_test from stdeb.cfg so that tests dont run on Debian build servers?

I don't see a way to set debian build environment variables (e.g. DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS) in stdeb.cfg, how can we disable dh_auto_test during the Debian build so that PPA/Debian build servers don't try to run our package tests automatically?

Example failing build due to tests being run unnecessarily:

• https://launchpad.net/~archivebox/+archive/ubuntu/archivebox/+build/20962645
• https://launchpadlibrarian.net/520660743/buildlog_ubuntu-focal-amd64.archivebox_0.5.4-1_BUILDING.txt.gz

Is there any way we can support the development of this project with $? E.g. Github Sponsors, Patreon, PayPal, etc. It's saved me many hours in the long run, and I'd like to send a slice of our project's donations back to stdeb.

Trying this, not yet sure if it's working as the debian build servers are slow:

...
Setup-Env-Vars: DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck

For anyone trying to skip tests when running from CLI:
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck python3 setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command bdist_deb 😀
