Building all reverse dependencies for a new package version on Salsa is
easy, although there is a 100 package limit for usage protection.  We've
used that approach in the Go team for larger updates.  If you do a
baseline reverse build on the current version you will get the first 100
rdep packages rebuilt, and if you do another rdep build for your new
version, you will get a good indication of problems.
