As Raphael pointed out, I did some work on this in the past. But I
consider it mostly a waste of time, since the benefits are very little.
Also, there are many areas where automated testing is interesting /
useful, but where we don't do everything we could yet, like the use of
test suites, or installation/upgrades testing in setups that are more
complex than piuparts'. I would rather see someone work on this.
