That's one of the missing pieces, I'll be honest - we *don't* have a
sensible list of test cases to help evaluate images. If you'd like to
help right now, this would be a good thing to start with. A page in
the Debian wiki would be lovely. :-)
As a start, my own simple testing for the last few years has basically been:
* does the image boot to a sensible-looking desktop?
* can I start a browser?
* will it load and display http://news.bbc.co.uk/?
