I offered to run piuparts over all packages and give access to the logs
(and we could maybe think of a way to give someone else access to the
setup). But I don't have time to process the logs, which is 95% of the
work to do.
It's not necessarily a bad idea to run the tests on piuparts.debian.org,
even if it is slower, if there are more people to care about it :-)
Also, it might be possible to make it faster ; several tests could be
run in parallel to improve the throughput, or tmpfs could be used
instead of a "real" filesystem to reduce the I/O bottleneck.
