Surely we need a regression testing system that can pick up bugs like
this?

Perhaps a script could install from a collection of packages and run
each associated executable, expecting the program to remain running for
a certain amount of time. Programs which require interaction should not
ordinarily exit immediately, so you could detect if something has gone
wrong.

Another way would be to get a list of /usr/lib/* from apt-file for Breezy and 
compare that to /usr/lib/* for Gutsy. 
That's potentially a quick list of libraries that might have fallen off the 
bus. Of course, apt-file itself fell off the bus in Gutsy since there's no 
Contents.i386 file on the CDROM.
