I don't think koschei has been mentioned in this thread yet.
For library type packages that's the testing we want to do, and if
I'm not mistaken, koschei compilations already are started for dependent
packages when an rpm hits updates-testing, if enabled for those packages.
This kind of testing complements the usability testing that is
suitable for leaf packages.

So adding testing instructions might help for some types of packages,
for other types we should be working on integrating koschei more
closely, in particular flagging the update that breaks builds.
