First of all I had to merge the APT suites in order to build the ISO
from stable. But I got it. That means that in case of problem we would
have to revert the APT suite merge. Personally I don't know how to do that.

Then I did two batches of tests that were successful:

Easy one
========

- Start Tails
- Got the "Tor is ready" notification
- Connected to IRC #tails
- Visited tails.boum.org
- Visited check.torproject.org

Tough one
=========

- Start Tails
- Set the clock to April 19
- Configure bridges as of /contribute/release_process/test/
- Time was synchronized correctly
- Got the "Tor is ready" notification
- The onion icon stayed yellow for some extra time (oh well...)
- Connected to IRC #tails
- Visited check.torproject.org
