You can cron test runs, that would then check the deps.

That depends on the gitlab-ci-runners that are registered. Anyone can
register CI-runners for their own projects, and CI runners can be any
Debian box or VM. It works easiest with Docker setups. CI runners can
be tagged, the jobs can be marked for the required tags. So the CI
runners could be tagged based on arch.
I hope that salsa.debian.org will also have some shared CI runners for
other arches.

It runs on each new push to git, so if you push commits one at a time,
it'll run per commit.
