PROGRESS NOTES:



DESCRIPTION:

The current .deb upgrade test is very simplistic. It mainly tests that the .deb
package scripts pre/postinst work correctly.

The actual test of the data is only a single table with a single value, and only
that the table is present. There is no test to check that the data is actually
preserved correctly.

It would be nice to extend this to include a set of example databases, covering
a reasonable range of commonly used column types, indexes, storage engines, etc.

It would also need some facility for checking that the data is correct after the
upgrade.
