This is not for every test, but only for those that use other packages.
For all others, it's already automatic. Like you, I'd consider anything
else inappropriate.
I don't know if it's easy to deduce the list of used packages inside the
testsuite framework. At the moment, this annotation is only necessary
for 58 out of 840 files in gnat.dg, which I wouldn't consider too heavy
a burden on the maintainers. In fact, it took me quite some time to get
the lists right, especially in gnat.dg/specs.
If you have suggestions on how to automate this, I'd be happy to listen.
