This was already requested and discussed a month ago:

There has not been any answer to my question about how the proposed
binaries are going to be tested:

  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/technical-board/2012-May/001268.html

We haven't had a microrelease SRU for the other components yet, so I
personally don't have experience with those  (other SRU team members
might). But the same question applies, what kind of test
plan/regression testing/etc. do we have against the -proposed binaries
to ensure they are alright?

Thanks,

Martin
