tools: add a script to install autopkgtest dependencies
Metadata
Current evaluation
PR #1300 proposed an autopkgtest dependency installer but closed unmerged after maintainers retained pip for development setup.
Resolution: closed not a bug
Reason: No implementation was merged. In the closing discussion, sergiusens explicitly said development would keep using pip, so the proposed Debian dependency installer was intentionally dropped.
