Test suite or a manual test plan, either way. Anything that gives us a reasonable confidence of regression testing. > Perhaps there was just a disconnect between expectations.

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. > The upstream policy is pretty strict and gated with a fair amount of > regression tests.

That sounds good indeed.
