My two cents (and copying Aaron): the ovsrobot (for dpdk) handles some
part of the Depends-on: series-XXX logic, indeed.
https://github.com/ovsrobot/pw-ci/commit/f2a73a46464424e977d4f8877e9a32314e4a0a07
https://github.com/ovsrobot/pw-ci/commit/3d263267cbd2d0c7b962aaaade9815379d03bba2

If you look at the 29416 or 29417 series branch history, you'll see
changes from series 29415:
