Thanks

We currently use https://jenkins.devuan.dev for our package building. Sources
are in git. However, the vast majority of packages are used directly from Debian
by redirection. We only fork and compile sources that need modification. This is
significantly different from most (all?) other Debian derivatives.

Yes, I doubt that too. I am certainly not aware of anybody looking at this, but
if you are interested in it and think that would benefit, do come and get
involved implementing it.

Thanks.
