In Test Update announcements, would it be possible to give hints on what
to test in particular or what features to check for changed behaviour?

Else I assume that simply installing a test update is not of any help
other than catching obvious regression. Because if I haven't been caught
by a bug in the previous package revision, I'm unlikely to notice whether
the test update fixes the bug. Or is the testing process solely a quantity
based thing?
