    Apply consistent formatting to packaging files
    
    Run `debputy reformat --style black` and `wrap-and-sort -vast` to enforce
    uniform deb822 formatting with one item per line. This makes future
    changes to dependencies and other lists easier to track in git diffs.

    move autopkgtests out of uid range > 900
    
    systemd_sysusers allocates system users counting down from 1000. This
