There are also some issues involving the treatment of test releases:

- It's not possible to install a test release of a package without 
clicking the global Test button.  But then you have to manually choose 
Keep for all the package where you don't want the test release.

- Once a test release is installed, selecting Reinstall will downgrade 
the package if the global Test button is not pressed.  Presumably this 
is because the test release has become invisible, since its repo has 
been disabled.  But I haven't checked carefully to see exactly what's 
going on.

- I found some glitches involving SHA512 sums of test releases.  It's 
probably not worth pursuing this until the handling of test releases is 
redone.
