[Bug 2028879] [NEW] Lack of default dpkg diverts causes autopkgtest failure

[Robie Basak]

Public bug reported:

tests/integration/test_packaging_apt_dpkg.py::test_get_file_package_diversion
fails if it doesn't detect any dpkg diversions. Apparently something
(possibly dash?) stopped diverting something, so now there are no
diversions in the autopkgtest environment and therefore this test fails.

One option is to add something that does divert something, eg. vim, to
the test dependencies. This fixes the issue for now, but isn't really a
permanent solution.
