I think the image (and the kernel) are going to churn at a much faster
rate than qemu will, so the benefit really is in early warning if the
kernel has suddenly tickled a latent qemu bug/missing bit of model.
(ie I think we'd want to do this test with the latest released qemu-maemo
package as well as with any new daily build of qemu.)

For changes to qemu itself, it would be good if there was an easy
way to test a proposed new qemu package to check that it still booted
the last release and the latest snapshot. I guess if we push changes to
git and do a daily build from that then that will handle that side of it.
