That might be neccessary ...

Niels, is a "piuparts regression" a "pass" in stretch and a "fail" in
sid? Do you take testing2sid into account?

Would further upgrade test suites be helpful? I'm thinking about
jessie2stretch and stable2sid (the latter may come with a lot of false
positive failures depending on the "stability" of sid, but sometimes it
catches some bits that work in testing, sid, testing2sid, but will break
in stable2testing only *after* migration; so far I run it on my local
piuparts instance only)

I like that name :-) and might follow up with some patches ... and might
add some flags.
