Looks like this happened due to these RC bugs:

  https://bugs.debian.org/1062206
  https://bugs.debian.org/1062110
  https://bugs.debian.org/1062209

i.e. it wasn't that aapt was removed or barred from testing for some
reason specific to aapt's code or license, etc. It is, as I understand
it, not impossible that it might return to testing without further
intervention on our part..?

Otherwise, we can very cleanly remove this build dependency, even
keeping the .arsc file support in diffoscope itself.
