  Description     : copy/extract/patch apk signatures

  apksigcopier is a tool for copying APK signatures from a signed APK
  to an unsigned one (in order to verify reproducible builds).  Its
  command-line tool offers three operations:

  * copy signatures directly from a signed to an unsigned APK
  * extract signatures from a signed APK to a directory
  * patch previously extracted signatures onto an unsigned APK

The F-Droid reproducible builds & verification effort recently led [1]
to the development of apksigcopier.  I've started packaging it for
Debian [2] and I have an offer from Holger Levsen to sponsor my
uploads [3].
