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.
