I guess we could add an "optdepend" directive for optional
dependencies. tlmgr would ignore them by default, but could follow them
if asked.

Is it worth doing that for you? That is, then your test setup could say
something like  tlmgr install --all-depends ctex  to get the engine-specific
dependencies which you want. -k
