Yeah, that looks like a test execution failure to me. It was marked as
PASS because it didn't end as a FAIL due to the test execution problem.
The full logs explain that the run as a whole was marked
NEEDS_INSPECTION due to the execution not completing cleanly.

Unfortunately, we don't have a good way to treat specific packages
differently.

Thanks for bringing it to our attention. I think this might end up
being more fuel to the fire of "replace depcheck with something saner",
though. I have some ideas on how to do that, just need to find the time
to get it done or someone else who's interested in doing the work :-/
