Test suite or a manual test plan, either way. Anything that gives us a

Ah, I indeed misunderstood this. I thought that was going to be a test
for how an "usual" MRE would work. As you say, it's very difficult and
in any case very time consuming to re-verify 38 bugs which already got
tested by upstream anyway.

That sounds good indeed.
