1. The comand line I used can be found in the logfile. That may have to
be adjusted for your paths (I run an installation from git, not packages).
Try to reproduce the bug.

2. Put the new packages you want to test (instead of what is currently
in stretch) (*.deb + Packages) into /tmp/icido (or whereever).
Run piuparts with --bindmount /tmp/icido --testdebs-repo /tmp/icido
--distupgrade-to-testdebs

3. Send a patch for the piuparts documentation to have such information
in a place where you would have looked for it in words you would have
understood :-)
