Redmine Issue: 6901, https://pulp.plan.io/issues/6901
We should have a test that synchronizes a fully valid repository from the fixtures, creates, a publication, and finally a distribution, and finally tests that distribution for validity.
Ideally we would use an actual APT client to do this, and possibly even test installing a package from the test repository.

Research direction
Start by locating tests and fixtures covering repository synchronization, publication creation, and distribution creation. Follow that lifecycle for a fully valid fixture repository, then run the resulting distribution validity check. Done means the test verifies the distribution; using an APT client and testing package installation are optional goals mentioned in the issue.
