A first test with a simpler candidate was done from the uploading
step up to the dak new-security-install step and installing into the
archive with gpac[1].

But as Ben mentions above, we should as well test the more complex

 [1] gpac was an good test candidate this time, as the -5 upload with
     security fixes was already unblocked and thus will superseed th -
     5~deb10u1.
