Description of changes
Packages that have a large reverse dependency set are hard to test because a full rebuild is infeasible. But on the other hand, it's tricky for reviewers to remember which reverse dependencies of a particular package are particularly important to ensure are working or are known to be particularly sensitive to changes in the depended package.
Therefore it makes sense to add a small selection of such packages to
passthru.tests. Done here forre2c. Interesting thematic relationship between chosen packages just a coincidence.See also #167079, #167092 in the same vein.
