I have now, I think, implemented something for this now. From the manual
page for version 0.5:
3. An upgrade test between Debian releases. This test is enabled
by using the -d option multiple times and disables the other two
tests. It sets up the chroot with the first distribution named,
then upgrades it to each successive one, and then remembers the
directory tree state at the end. After this, it starts over with
the chroot of the first distribution, installs the desired pack‐
ages (via apt-get), and does the successive upgrading (via
apt-get dist-upgrade). Then, if package files (and not just
package names) were given on the command line, it installs them.
Finally, it reports problems against the state of the directory
tree at the last distribution compared with the state without
the packages having been installed. This test can be quite slow
to execute.
And the example:
If you want to test that a package installs properly in the stable
Debian release, then can be upgraded to the testing and unstable ver‐
sions, and then uninstalled without problems, you would give the fol‐
lowing command:
piuparts -a -d stable -d testing -d unstable foo
Is this what you want?
It's fairly slow for now, but can be made faster (e.g., by saving
tarballs of various phases for later reuse) if it otherwise does what is
needed.
The code is at http://liw.iki.fi/liw/download/piuparts-0.5.tar.gz (still
no Debian package, sorry).
