Travis in your travis, I like it. Should we simply try to run every dependency script ? The problem I have with this is that if we don't have an actual project to build against these dependencies, the test will not reveal much.
I think building/installing the dependencies and adding simple checks (e.g. checksums of the tarballs, pkg-config checks post install) would be enough. The rest would be far too complicated to test.
You may like this idea: http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/auto-pkg-test.html (not saying you should do something that complicated, but I like the auto-contained script)
I know this sounds meta, but that way we can at least confirm that dependency scripts can be properly handled.
