Or, bug #11347 again.
I just spent quite a while chasing down a test failure that was due to testsuite-part.am not being remade when new tests were added.
I duly found bug #11347, which contains a rationale for not having testsuite-part.am depend on all the tests.
However, the rationale doesn't seem to explain the reason for removing the dependency on the *list* of tests. In particular, without depending on list-of-tests.mk, the dependencies of new tests are not extracted automatically, and so tests that depend on other tests can be run in the wrong order (this was exactly my case: I had two new tests that both depended on pkg-config).
