Hey Antonio, I suppose you BCCed me as I don't usually get WNPP bug mail; thanks!
You are probably aware that we do this kind of thing in Ubuntu [1], which spawned quite a bunch of autopkgtest additions and also failures [2] in Debian. We currently use some wrapper scripts around autopkgtest [3] and let the whole thing run in Jenkins; that thing has grown "organically" (to say it in a positive way), but it has a couple of restrictions and is a bit too complex for my taste. (And that doesn't even include the integration with britney) Since then autopkgtest itself grew a few things which reduces the need for wrapper scripts (just today I landed some new features particulary for your use case). So, if you find something which adt-run itself should do but doesn't, please don't hesitate to file a bug and/or grab me on IRC (pitti on Freenode). I'm very eager to see what you have in mind for debci. I think if we work together and I maybe get to add a proper adt-virt-qemu [4] some day, we can eliminate [3] entirely, and the whole thing would be reduced to scanning the archive and scheduling/running adt-run on the slaves (QEMU, LXC, or schroots in practice). Do you want to use an existing job scheduler like http://jenkins.debian.net, or perhaps something simpler like zookeeper?
