Yes, the ERT tests run on hydra. Check the "coverage" job of a test run,
for example <http://hydra.nixos.org/build/26534891>. In the log file,
you see also the output of a "make check" call.

No, it doesn't check ELPA packages. I'm sure that such a contribution
from a volunteer would be welcome.

Branches are not checked, except the emacs-24 branch while we were in
pretest. This has been stalled meanwhile, because nothing happens in
this branch now.
