Preliminary alpha 4 and alpha 5 install results

[Henrik Nilsen Omma]

Hi,

I'm posting some very preliminary certification testing results from our 
runs of alpha 4 and alpha 5 images. There is not much detail here about 
the tests that were run - we are working on better reporting.

Since aug 27th our daily install tests were suffering from dpkg bug 
264923 which has now been resolved (thanks Colin for diging into it!). 
So far this morning we have results in from 3 machines running an 
extensive set of tests including autotest and LSB. Installs are still 
failing from bug 268604 which we are currently digging into.

Thanks Marc for this summary:
