We need to run tests for packages depending on node-cookie to make sure 
the new version don't break them.

You can use reverse-depends command to find out which other packages 
depend on node-cookie

Runtime dependencies (Depends)
$ reverse-depends node-cookie
Reverse-Depends
===============
* node-cookie-parser
* node-express

Packages without architectures listed are reverse-dependencies in: all, 
amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips64el, ppc64el, s390x


Build time dependencies (Build-Depends)
pravi@ilvala2:~/forge/js-team/node-cookie$ reverse-depends -b node-cookie
Reverse-Build-Depends
=====================
* node-cookie-parser
* node-express

and you test all of them, you can use scripts from ruby team

https://salsa.debian.org/ruby-team/meta

which runs rebuild tests and autopkgtests for these packages with the 
newer node-cookie.

For autopkgtests, another tool you can use is
https://release.debian.org/britney/pseudo-excuses-experimental.html

on this page search for node-cookie.

but this does not test rebuilds. So you can use this for autopkgtests 
and ruby-team/meta/build for rebuilds.
