Bug#836520: reprotest: contains a copy of the autopkgtest code

[Antonio Terceiro]

Package: reprotest
Version: 0.2
Severity: normal

The virtualization backend binaries provided by autopkgtest are supposed
to be consumable by external tools¹. Maybe we are not in a point where
actually doing that is easy/convenient, but having a full copy of the
autopkgtest code base in reprotest does not seem to be right.

I even understand how this helped bootstrap the project and made it
easier at the beginning, but I'm sure you will agree with me that reuse
by copy-and-paste and embedded code copies are not good ideas.
