Hi,

I find that cowbuilder [1] does this job fine for my needs. If I need to
test a more involved graphical user experience for a different release
than the one I run, I just spin up a VM.

I'm not at all an expert, and maintain only a small number of packages,
so take this with a grain of salt.

 Best,
