Well, ideally we need somebody to run and manage a testing installation.
The second best are stable installation images with a set of known
working packages, but that is quite some work as well (as was just shown
by Philip).
I think a mini-ISO which includes the packages installed by default
(i.e. base or whatever you want that to be) is useful. Sure, apt-get
install foo afterwards might not work, but so is life in unstable.
