I like, and have reviewed, this series. But on the othet hand I
disagree on replacement part. Building and installing the
E.L.B.E. packages on each pull request is an orthogonal test. I agree,
that a similar test exists in the internal CI, but I am also convinced,
that building the packages upon a pull request adds a benefit to pull
requests on github. I would like to see both tests be part of the
automated tests running on github.
