(both in an automated manner and manually).

 * General smoke testing of all the applications in the office suite
were carried out by going through the manual testplan as documented by:

[Regression Potential]

 * A combination of autopkgtests and careful smoke testing as described
above should provide reasonable confidence that no regressions sneaked
in.
