Like autopkgtest. When I was working on it to support Debian's migration
testing, I looked at python-apt and because that didn't support it,
stopped thinking. With indextargets and download-file I guess we could
work on it again. When were those introduced? Ubuntu needs it on old
releases so before autopkgtest can change it, we'd need support for a while.
