I'm not convinced this is actuall a problem.  What we're trying to
approximate here with auto-filling Testsuite-Triggers (rather than
someone specifying it manually in debian/control) is a set of packages
that we feel it would be reasonable to force a retest for.

Sure, maybe it wastes a few cycles if TestA doesn't actually depend
on or use DepB, but we run it when DepB changes anyway, but I'm not
sure optimising for that is worth having ${test}-Triggers instead of
just one concatenated field.

I suspect my opinion here is partially colored by issues of prettiness,
and I should probably not care about that, so if everyone else thinks
the shed should be red, I can go paint it that colour, and just pretend
it's blue in my mind.
