Indeed, our goal is to get a lot more of them. We currently have some
20 [1], but at the last UDS we had a little competition which got us
another 11 [2], which we'll upload and forward to Debian in the next
days.

Our scripts for creating VMs, running the tests in those, and the
Jenkins integration are in "bzr branch lp:auto-package-testing", which
you can browse at [3]. In the doc/ directory there is documentation
how the Jenkins integration works. I can't say much about it I'm
afraid, as I have never touched a Jenkins job so far; this has been
created by Jean-Baptiste Lallement (in CC:); he's on holiday for the
next week, though.

Please let me know if this is useful. I can poke at the jobs in our
actual Jenkins instance (jenkins.qa.u.c. is just a readonly public
mirror) if you need to know something specific, but we try to avoid
having any manual job configuration; these are all autogenerated
through scripts through python-jenkins.
