No.  A test rebuild with a stack of 12 dependency levels doesn't make 
much sense.  You'll only get reasonable results for the first dependency 
level, not the other 11 levels.

What we've done until now was to test the addition of 3.12 in a PPA, 
making sure that we can build up the dependency up to key packages like 
cython, numpy, test frameworks and others.  After that, doing the work 
in the archive in a way that hopefully doesn't block other transitions 
too much.

Also doing the whole work in a PPA or shadow archive is problematic, as 
you have to make sure that the PPA / shadow archive doesn't get out of 
sync with the normal archive.  A challenge over time with 1000+ packages.

I'm planning to ask Lucas for a normal test rebuild of unstable, once we 
have a reasonable amount of packages built with 3.12 in unstable.  Bugs 
for these will be filed, but we probably have to usertag these our self.
