  Description     : parse/verify/clean android apk signing blocks & apks

  apksigtool is a tool for parsing android APK Signing Blocks (either
  embedded in an APK or extracted as a separate file, e.g. using
  apksigcopier) and verifying APK signatures.  It can also clean them
  (i.e. remove everything that's not an APK Signature Scheme v2/v3
  Block or verity padding block), which can be useful for reproducible
  builds.

  WARNING: verification is considered EXPERIMENTAL and SHOULD NOT BE
  RELIED ON, please use apksigner instead.

apksigtool is a proposed new optional dependency for diffoscope [1],
allowing it to properly compare APK Signing Blocks.

I am the upstream author and want to package and maintain it for
Debian as well (like I already do with apksigcopier).

I am looking for a sponsor, since I am (still) a Sponsored Maintainer.

NB: v0.5.0 hasn't actually been released yet, but it will be soon.
