Oh, absolutely. But testing can have multiple forms, and we could imagine
requiring autopkgtest before migrating stuff from this automatic suite to
user-facing suites. Something along the lines of what Ubuntu AFAIK does with
their pre-development release suite; a no-delay britney that checks suite
coherency (migrations) and autopkgtests.
