I am an active tester. Speaking from this viewpoint, your
proposal is excellent, except for the location of the tests. From my
viewpoint it would be far better if they were included with the .debs,
or if they available for downloading apart from the sources.
During the bo round of testing, I found that downloading packages
was a significant part of the time spent. This proposal would make
the tester unload sources as well as the .debs for all packages being
tested. This would be an additional demand on the tester's time and
on his ppp resources.
