I made a script to test upgrades from woody to sarge a long time ago.
This script is available from
<URL:http://developer.skolelinux.no/~pere/upgrade-testing/test-upgrade.sh>.
Perhaps it could be used to get some ideas for the upgrade testing?
It would also be interesting to see if the package left some processes
behind (aka not using start-stop-daemon), or if any files are left
behind when the package is purged. I never wrote code to do this,
though.
