Title:
  trigger tests for updated reverse test dependencies

Bug description:
  Tracking down the cause of the php5 stalls, I found that the
  regression in the php-codecoverage tests was caused not by a
  regression in php5, which it blocks, but in xdebug, which it did *not*
  block.

  This is because xdebug is a test dependency of php-codecoverage but
  not a build or runtime dependency of it.  As a result, xdebug was
  allowed to regress the state of php-codecoverage's tests in the
  release pocket, undetected.

  Should we trigger tests for test dependencies as well?
