Oh, and another question about the autopkgtest env this is being run on. In your comment you wrote that this requires a source package built - does this mean that when the autopkgtests on the github CI is being run, is the source stripped off the git pieces? I don't think we ship the .git elements with our source packages, right? This might make things harder. Will I have access to the branch's git pieces in an autopkgtest?
