</I>There once was a project at Mandriva where each packager was to supposed 
to come up with a basic functionality test for his/her package(s), 
although I don't think it got much traction aside from those of us who 
were getting paid to work on the distro and whose manager made the tests 
a deliverable.
iirc there was even some automation framework so they they could be run 
by machine.
