[PATCH] dpkg-base: Add devshell_nodeps task

[PATCH] dpkg-base: Add devshell_nodeps task

[Jan Kiszka]

From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com>

This is useful for debugging dependency issues that apt is usually weak
in presenting clearly. In that case, you may want to beam into the
buildchroot and issue the dependency installation steps manually. The
default devshell is designed to support the build, thus pulls in all
deps first and cannot help here. Therefore this new separate task.
