Ubuntu has a nice way to handle this: each kernel upload, triggers the autopkgtestsuite, that is basically a build of reverse-dkms kernel modules, and can't migrate until they are hinted/fixed. I use this as a way to keep vbox in sync with the kernel sources. (you might want to steal the autopkgtestsuite from Ubuntu, britney ignores the results, but they will appear anyway in PTS) G.
