FTR, we explicitly make use of that for our toolchain packages: gcc,
binutils, linux, and eglibc have a "bin/true" test with "needs build"
to ensure that whenever we update one piece, the others are still
buildable and their tests succeed (which run at build time). I know
that this is somewhat of an abuse of autopkgtest, but it does work :-)
So effectively it becomes a "rebuild reverse-dependencies" tool as
well, nice!
If we had enough hardware to throw at the problem, I'd love to see
ci.debian.net rebuilding all packages, even those without any DEP-8
tests defined. Hopefully there's a better way to achieve that than
patching 20 thousands of source packages. :)
