It's still in NEW[3]. I _think_ if you really want to enable tests now, you
can do the needful. Since when the packages are accepted, jest would
(hopefully) be accepted before redux, and hence that should ideally not be
a problem.

However do check the "distribution" that's experimental for jest.
If you instead want to wait for jest to be accepted, and then add tests,
that should be fine as well.

Yep. And that's precisely why tests are a good tool to indicate such things.
Maybe try to install redux in a chroot and test manually if things work?

You may alternatively consider upgrading incompatible version provided this
doesn't break anything.
If you want to do things this way, there's a nice ruby/meta scripts[4] to
test reverse-depends and reverse-build-depends.

I hope that helps?
