Can't there be some automatic test to see if each snapshot will actually
install, before distributing it?

Please feel free to contribute a test framework which tries to
install each Debian-packaged extension individually (in a sandbox)
and reports failures. I don't use apel, emacs-goodies-el or any of
the usual suspects myself.
