python-apt participates in a number of dependency cycles relevant to
architecture bootstrap. Rather than work on such a difficult problem, I
looked into easily droppable dependencies. It turns out that a nocheck
build with the following dependencies turned into Build-Conflicts
exactly reproduces binary artifacts of a regular build:
* apt-utils
* distro-info-data
* gnupg
* dirmngr
* pycodestyle
* pyflakes3
As such I suggest annotating them <!nocheck>. Please consider applying
the attached patch.
