Hmm. Do you have a few statically built binaries that could be tested without installing a whole distribution? Something real and meaningful enough that it actually exercised a few real system calls, but not something that needs to bring in 50 different shared libraries?
Something in /sbin, perhaps, that is still runnable by a regular user and doesn't require some distro-specific /etc layout etc, so that it would work even if you don't run Debian at all? Maybe some shell binary or something?
