Comment 6 for bug 835103

Thanks for taking on this work, Abel! I was glad to see it in progress when I started work today. :)

As for Francis' concerns about this going unreported for a year, I think we could do a couple things:

 * add some integration test between checkbox and the hwdb, so we get
    something that blows up if they get out of sync :)
 * add stats in lpstats for invalid submissions by distro series

We would need the integration test run automatically somewhere and we would need to remember to look at the stats, but both of these would give us some sense of the health of checkbox/hwdb integration, I think.
