No, I don't know any other tool than autopkgtest which can check if
the software packaged in a Debian package is functionally working.
autopkgtest works well and is widely supported, so I assume, there's
no need for additionaly tools with similar functionality.

There are though a few tools which can check if the software packaging
has issues, namely lintian (checks packaging;
https://lintian.debian.org/) and piuparts (checks installation,
installability, upgradability, removability by installing a package
under multiple environments; https://piuparts.debian.org/).
