I did partially. My computer stalled in the middle (not due to the
testing I believe, but due to what I fear is an Emacs bug). Mind you, I
believe the test-metapkgs actual fails. Generating logs as I write this

I'd rather have that people knowledgeable on how debian-edu code
actually works choose the right set.
