Motivation for this change
Packages that have a large reverse dependency set are hard to test because a full rebuild is infeasible. But on the other hand, it's tricky for reviewers to remember which reverse dependencies of a particular package are particularly important to ensure are working or are known to be particularly sensitive to changes in the depended package.
Therefore it makes sense to add a small selection of such packages to
passthru.tests. Done here forlibtiff. Testing mostly image loading libraries.If you liked this PR, you may also like these in a similar vein:
