2. I screwed up and introduced a packaging bug, for instance bad

it.
In the long run so do we, but right now, autoqa is not hooked up to the
build process in any way. It's manual testing or nothing.
I guess what this boils down to is that I'd be happier with the
testing
process if it were actually successful at finding problems. In my
experience, it's a week's delay for exactly zero return.
It does find problems. Though, by what you say, not in your packages, so
I know where you're coming from; but we've certainly caught a positive
integer amount of bugs with the process. :)
