Reading Scott's comments[0] regarding dist-upgrading led me to revisit
something we've been neglecting: We should plan a testing scheme for
universe dist-upgrades. Granted we're already doing this from revision
to revision, but William's and Michael's efforts in Edgy have reiterated
just how imperative it is that we strive for smooth dist-upgrades. For
Feisty, although our primary upgrade path will be Edgy->Feisty, there's
no reason we shouldn't at least attempt Dapper->Feisty, too.

Yes, I'm insane[1].

However, if Dapper is to be recognized as a serious LTS release, we
really need to put the manpower behind it. Count me in for assisting
said effort.
