Ideally, why not include every single library in Debian?

Some months ago I saw Andrey's announcement[1] of the API sanity check tool 
in Gentoo's QA mailing list and started working on it in an attempt to check 
every library in Debian. I didn't go far with it, but it was mostly a matter 
of lack of time. "Upstream Tracker" is more complete and we should really 
try to use it and integrate it in our processes.

I don't know what's the capacity and support for the idea of checking all of 
Debian's libraries that the Linux Verification Center is willing to give, 
but I'm sure we could find a .d.o machine to host a copy of the tool if 
needed.
