Hi!

This package explicitly depends dpkg-dev (which is part of
build-essential), and build-essential in its autopkgtest Depends,
where it is also explicitly depending on @builddeps@, which already
includes the latter (which transitively includes the former).

This is redundant, and has been entangling this package with dpkg's
testing migration for several Debian releases via its autopkgtests.

Please drop both explicit dpkg and build-essential from the autopkgtest
Depends.

Thanks,
Guillem
