Start/Stop QA Testing for Blends

[Hibby <hibby@debian.org>]

Hi all,

Roland mentioned at minidebconf this month [1] a need for qa testing for live builds of of blends, and ema's talk [2] really solidified a number of things in my head I've been doing with live-build. Thank you both for great talks! 

I'd like to help out in this regard with my debian-hamradio [3] hat on. At the moment we're a collection of metapackages, it's been some years since we had a live disk, so I assume this will be a multi-step process of bootstrapping a reproducible live image using live-build and then submitting that to openqa.

Can you give me some directions on where would be best to start for both having our infrastructure produce reproducible builds and then handing that to OpenQA so we can get to start-stop testing.
