Try to minimise regressions using DEP-8 tests

autopkgtest (DEP-8) and ci.debian.net can help to prevent (certain) regressions. We could include/add tests on important packages with regular updates. At least, before uploading packages with tests, autopkgtest should be run using a jessie image (since running on a local unstable is not fully reliable).

TODO items

• Add more test procedures at LTS/TestSuites
• Make ci.debian.net run tests on jessie+jessie/updates, stable+stable-proposed-updates and other suites

History

• Generate a list of packages that have had (recurrent) security updates and that lack autopkgtest
• Document how to run tests. Maybe also as part of the building process => cf. LTS/Development
• Close 831975 (ci.debian.net: Run test for packages in suites other than unstable)
• Maintain public jessie qemu images [*]
