Debian also relies heavily on upstream software maintainers to handle testing and debugging individual software components rather than doing a lot of distribution-level testing.
Meanwhile, a good solution here is to integrate LSB tests in upstream development cycles. This topic was discussed a lot, but unfortunately there was only a little progress in this area. One of the major problems is that test suite is often a separate complex product that requires additional integration and maintenance work. Another problem is that interpreting test results often requires significant time and experience.
A good example is testing glibc with LSB tests at upstream - http://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Testing/LSB_Core. That work is performed by a volunteer who participated in LSB test development long time ago. The tests are useful and do detect bugs in glibc, but this activity completely depends on a single person - if he doesn't have enough time to run the tests and to analyze the results, then LSB tests are not launched at all.
