A little bit off topic, but this reminds me of the simulator that
Jason built into the apt core. I wonder if we could use apt's
simulator to ensure the internal consistency of the pre-release
distribution at all times, and to see how
addition/removal/upgrade/downgrade of a package perturbs the
consistency node tree.
Jason?
