I wonder if it would be appropriate for archive admins to check this
before package removals as they do for reverse dependencies? I
understand that the archive won't end up "broken" by the same
definition, but it will make the autopkgtest situation in the archive
worse.

Maybe, to help, the "reverse-depends" tool needs adjusting?

In progress, and apparently fixed if you use ubuntu-dev-tools from git? https://bugs.launchpad.net/reverse-depends/+bug/1843614
