which will not catch things like:
- path to a static file inside the development tree
- missing declared build dependeny
- missing dependency on non distributed /opt or /usr/local file
- broken upgrade path to some old version
And it is hard to test them all, thats why we have stable, so a lot of ppl
will test a lot of combinations. Thats where the strenth of the oss process
comes from.
Personally i do:
- grep for "ecki" in debian/tmp/*
- check ldd output
- "ls -lR debian/tmp | less" and look for broken permissions/users
- use lintian
- test upgrade against latest released version
- test fresh install
Unfortunatelly I can only test that on my single one machine which is most
of the time up to testing, sometimes unstable.
