The DEP isn't finished, as far as I know, but Ubuntu's implementation is
well documented, and a lot of Ubuntu packages have good examples. That URL
I mentioned is a good start for docs.

If you can write a program that exits with nonzero when there's a problem
running the installed package and you can list the dependencies of your
program, that's 95% of autopkgtest.  Try it with pkg "autopkgtest" .
