I was spoken about the test specific dependencies.

not the dependencies of the packages (dependencies which are imported in the 
upstream module code).

So how do we guaranty that the listed dependencies (from the  upstream, 
supposing there are right ;) are well define in the binary package dependencies 
?

I just tell this because entry_point checking for the module dependencies.
So sometimes I get <something> is missing when running entry points.
