No, because too many such errors depend on actually trying to install the package; a substantial proportion of the errors you might encounter are in the maintainer scripts, which can't be tested that way. Waiting a day or two and then checking the bug tracking system for release-critical bugs might count. :) -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
