The QA scripts perform install tests, do they use the published feed, or another local copy? Breaking QA's ability to validate the the package manager actually works would be a problem. > One thing I'm thinking of and I want some feedback here is setting the > package type on the main builds to just ipk and running a special > deb/rpm test being to ensure those package types are functional.

The reduced coverage is something to consider, but if the other builds were world and also built images then the reduction shouldn't be too bad. I wonder what the speed difference between ipk and ipkg+rpm is: this is probably worth measuring.
