Bug#821775: dose: add some features from qa.debian.org/debcheck.php

Hi,

the https://qa.debian.org/debcheck.php seem to be not much maintained
and are missing a number of features with respect to dependency
resolution (like build profiles, architecture qualifiers, multiarch,
build-depends-indep/arch) all of which dose3 implements properly. Thus
it might make sense to move some of the checks currently done by
debcheck.php to dose/debcheck.html like:

 - priority checks
 - section checks
 - depends on non-main
 - oldlib checks

The checks could be done with dose3 by creating fitting package sets
using grep-dctrl and feeding those to distcheck for installability
checks.

I'd assume that feeding distcheck a few more filtered Packages files to
check for these issues is very much easier than fixing the dependency
resolver of debcheck.php.

Thanks!

cheers, josch
