That's not necessarily a problem in the process. If the package sits in
updates-testing for a while and gets no negative feedback, it's a
reasonably strong indication it doesn't break anything egregiously,
because if it did, someone would come and file negative feedback.

it may not be a cast-iron guarantee that the package works perfectly,
but it's better than a kick in the head.
