I used bcond locally and wrongly assumed that fedpkg build would
support --with BCOND and --without BCOND. Instead, the way to activate
it is to change to "%bcond_with check" and then revert to
"%bcond_without check". The only difference with bootstrap is that
"bootstrap" is recognized and a suffix ~bootstrap can be added
automatically to the resulting build. So the question is whether we
want that suffix or not.
