ci: let the deb job run debuild's test pass

The deb job set DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck to skip a redundant second test run.
With mkdeb.sh no longer running its own pre-build check, debuild's is the only
test pass, so nocheck would suppress it entirely and CI would never exercise the
packaged build's tests. Drop nocheck; keep noautodbgsym and parallel.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+      WebHTTrack is the web interface to HTTrack, an offline browser utility.
+      It downloads a website from the Internet to a local directory, fetching
+      the HTML, images, and other files and rebuilding the site's link
+      structure so you can browse it offline.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      A step-by-step web interface guides you through choosing the addresses
+      to mirror and the options to apply. Mirrors can be updated in place and
+      interrupted downloads resumed.
+    </p>
+    <p>Typical uses include:</p>
+    <ul>
+      <li>Keeping an offline copy of a website for reading without a connection</li>
+      <li>Archiving or preserving sites and capturing them for later reference</li>
+      <li>Updating an existing local mirror without downloading it again</li>
