DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS should be a space-separated list in build-script
In this file,
https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline/-/blob/master/salsa-ci.yml#L178
test -z "${HOST_ARCH}" || export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck${DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS:+,}${DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS}
in the case of crossbuilding, the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS env. var uses the "," separator.
This can result in such an error
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: invalid flag in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS: nocheck,noautodbgsym
The values should be space separated
From dpkg-buildpackage manpage:
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS
If set, it will contain a space-separated list of options
that might affect the build process in debian/rules, and
the behavior of some dpkg commands.
