I see. Now, I want autopkgtest to make as few assumptions about the testbeds as
possible, so I'd prefer if it sticks to things that are Essential/required.
python is not amongst that, so we shouldn't rely on it. So this limits your
choice to POSIX shell or perhaps bash, or if really needed, perl-base.

Right, that will be missing tons of support files (like the entire standard
library).
