Sounds promising. Be Is it generic enough s.t. it could be reused by
other packages with similar problems? (right now I remember squid and
libreoffice, but I think there were more)

we could use archive.d.org

If you help me a bit :-) It will require some scripting ... and maybe
some new piuparts features to be coded - on my side.
Do you have only one set of new packages for stretch to be tested or are
there new packages targeting jessie as well?
So the upgrade path will actually be
wheezy -> jessie X.Y -> stretch+new
(or up to wheezy -> jessie X.Y -> jessie X.Z(+new) -> stretch -> stetch+new)
(with a "reference" ending in plain stretch, to see if you actually
fixed something)
Build the packages for amd64 and put them together with a Packages.gz on
some webspace. If it's more than one source package for a distro - no
problem, throw them all into one repo. Version must be higher than the
version in stretch, s.t. I can use stretch + your repo and have apt do
the right thing.
If there are packages for jessie (or a different package set to be
tested for stretch), put them in another repo.
Can you find the sources.list entry needed to install jessie 8.0 from
archive.d.org? (Full jessie 8.0, not just a few packages.)
Then I need a list of packages (indivudal ones or sets, from wheezy) to
be tested on these upgrade paths. And there is the option
--with-recommends, if needed.
You'll get some logfiles to analyze in return.
Sounds not too complicated :-)

PS: Do you want to do tests with user-modified conffiles as well? These
should probably get prompts and "fail". Requires a recipe for modification.
