    Dose [1] is reporting a build issue with your package, it's missing a
    build dependency. Obviously your build dependencies shouldn't be
    removed from testing, but unfortunately there are multiple scenarios
    where that can happen nevertheless.

    Looks like this happened due to these RC bugs:

    https://bugs.debian.org/1062206
    https://bugs.debian.org/1062110
    https://bugs.debian.org/1062209

    i.e. it wasn't that aapt was removed or barred from testing for some
    reason specific to aapt's code or license, etc. It is, as I understand
    it, not impossible that it might return to testing without further
    intervention on our part..?

    Otherwise, we can very cleanly remove this build dependency, even
    keeping the .arsc file support in diffoscope itself.
