Looks like it takes about 5min here.
I would say once a week is enough... unless the broken deps are in
stable, then instead of running it more, I think we just go and try and
fix them or contact the maintainer via email/irc/phone to fix them.
If it really takes only a few minutes to run I'd much prefer to run it
right after every push -- that way packagers normally will get a
feedback closely after they realized a change.
If we do it only once a week the worst case might be around 11 days (7
days between runs + 4 days from needsign to repo) between doing a change
on foo and getting a mail that "foo broke the world". That's to long IMHO.

Sure, but hopefully the stable run is empty usually.
And if not we quickly should do something. Even in testing there are to
many broken deps. :-/
