I think I can add two notices: 1) what about giving really high priority to _regressions_ of these test cases? For example pdf printing has been and is broken in ubuntu since I think one year or so, due to evince not being capable of printing correctly many (but not all) of these files. This means the LTS does *not* pass the test cases. The bug https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/poppler/+bug/150187 is open but stuck in a dead end. This bug must be paid a much greater attention than it is now: I have to teach people to install acrobat reader, that sucks on linux in any point except for its very good printing abilities. People will _not_ use ubuntu if they can't print pdf files. Indeed, any regression regarding such basic functionality as the thest cases you kindly provided should be given a very high importance for the quality of the distribution. 2) What about adding some basic hardware testing to these test cases? For example, vga out support never survives a release or two before being killed by X progressing, in my experience, but it is very important for the whole academic community which is one of the primary targets of linux-based environments at the moment. As of now, I own three different laptops, of different ages. For different bugs none of them can project on a VGA projector in hardy, and ALL of them have been able in past releases. This gives a very bad impression of ubuntu to newcomers.
