That’s correct. And I should add that most applications’ autopilot tests
should use the standard emulators provided by the SDK, and thus their
-autopilot package should depend on ubuntu-ui-toolkit-autopilot.

Note that ubuntu-ui-toolkit-autopilot depends on dpkg-dev, which pulls in a
lot of build dependencies, such as make and perl. This is because the
emulators rely on dpkg-architecture to locate qmlscene.
Maybe there’s a simpler way to achieve this, and we could get rid of the
dependency on dpkg-dev?
