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.

Bug#1070416: src:diffoscope: unsatisfied build dependency in testing: aapt

Version: 259
Severity: serious

Dear maintainer(s),

Dose [1] is reporting a build issue with your package, it's missing a
build dependency. Obviously your build dependencies shouldn't be
removed from testing, but unfortunately there are multiple scenarios
where that can happen nevertheless. To uphold our social contract,
Debian requires that packages can be rebuild from source in the suite
we are shipping them, so currently this is a serious issue with your
package in testing.

Can you please investigate the situation and figure out how to resolve
it? Regularly, if the build dependency is available in unstable,
helping the maintainer of your Build-Depends to enable migration to
testing is a great way to solve the issue. If your build dependency is
gone from unstable and testing, you'll have to fix the build process
in some other way.

Paul
