Bug#844455: autopkgtest: Please support additional (local) packages
Package: autopkgtest
Version: 4.2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,
Occassionally I'm testing a new package version that has new
dependencies which aren't yet in Debian. I can build the ITP'd
packages locally and build the new package version with e.g. sbuild's
- --extra-package arguments. Although it's moderately inconvenient to
add a bunch of debs, it does work.
But I don't know that autopkgtest has a similar feature. It would
need to build the new package with the extra debs and run the tests
after installing the extra debs.
