Re: lax testing before releasing updated packages?
well, why not buy support from canonical. they will ensure things work they should, cause that is what you are paying for.
In case you haven't read the license, when installing it clearly states that this OS comes with no guarantees whatsoever or even the implied notion of a guarantee. Yes, it is usually stable, but there is no guarantee.
AFAIK canonical does not make a profit from Ubuntu OS, just the support they sell.
Also, if you are running Ubuntu on a business, you're best off using an update server. I think it can be set as a repository.
you can then first test the updates to see if they work, then place is on your update server after which they can be picked up by the other computers. Eliminates the problems you described.
Approach life & cooking with reckless abandon.
