For now I'd advise just skipping packages you can't figure out how to test and focus on the ones you can. My usual approach is to figure out what depends on the package (just fake-trying to remove it can help with this), then find something in that list that looks like I can actually try it out relatively easy, try and work out how it uses the dependency (which can be the tricky part!), and go from there. But it's not always easy, and it's fine to just skip ones you can't work out a way to test.
