I just came to know a method to run salsa-CI for reverse-dependencies.
Probably we can use it

	https://bzed.de/post/2021/01/building_reverse_build_dependencies_in_salsa_ci/

But since the reverse-deps might be large in number, we need to open an issue similar to this
to ask the CI admins once about it

	https://salsa.debian.org/salsa/support/-/issues/291

Hope that helps.

Nilesh
