I think I pass on that. While I regularly run reverse dependency checks for R packages at CRAN (just shipped another Rcpp release after testing against 2800+ packages) I feel I won't have it in me to set this up for another (Debian this time) package. Some dependents are non-trivial. Maybe time I pass GSL on to someone with more appetite for this as I've been at it since 1999.
