Is bindep.txt meant to be used by anything other than OpenStack CI? (As in,
are packagers going to rely on it?)

In keystone's bindep.txt, we have packages listed like:

libldap2-dev [platform:dpkg]


-> Which is only needed if you install with keystone[ldap] (see
keystone's setup.cfg[1]).


libsqlite3-dev [platform:dpkg]


-> Which is only needed for unit tests.

.. and maybe others that aren't needed in all deployments.

So there's a use case for a) integrating with extras, and b) a
"test-bindep.txt".

Maybe this is supported already or is known work to do, or maybe somebody's
looking for something to work on.
