Similarly we could cover the case of `release.txt` missing by using the `--exclude-resources` plugin.

Maybe we should have a follow-up issue to attempt to create a test for this. However, the bigger topic of testing the cross-linking scenario isn't really something we can do in a jtreg test. Instead it is something for "special testing", like the manual tests, as it needs builds from different platforms.
