Description: Read-only diagnostics for Raspberry Pi systems

pi-doctor is a read-only command-line diagnostic utility for Raspberry Pi
systems. It checks board identity, operating-system and kernel metadata,
thermal and throttling state, boot configuration, GPIO conflicts, camera
detection, and common Python-environment pitfalls.

The tool is intended for interactive troubleshooting and automation. Its
human-readable output explains detected issues and suggested next steps,
while its versioned JSON output supports scripts and fleet-management tools.

This package is useful because Raspberry Pi diagnostics are commonly spread
across separate commands and system files. pi-doctor provides a single,
non-destructive interface that reports incomplete or unavailable probes
explicitly rather than treating them as healthy results.

I am the upstream author and intend to maintain the package myself. I am
seeking a Debian sponsor for the initial upload.
