What if, instead, we remove the checkbox from the UI, add the NotAutomatic feature, and also enable the proposed archive in sources.list? This way, the udpates would not be automatic, there wouldn't be any confusing UI, and it should be relatively easy to have SRU testing done for specific packages, by having a link or something which installs the specific packages from proposed for testing. People who don't want/need it won't get anything. People who want all the proposed packages can enable them if they want. And people who just want to test an SRU can click a link in the bug report or SRU testing request e-mail, to install the relevant packages. Does that sound feasible?
