State what? That we're supposed to build the cloud images on Casulana?
As much as I know, that has always been what we were supposed to do. You
alone decided that the gitlab's CI was the way to go.

Good.

We're not only building images for Sid/Unstable, but also for stable. In
such case, we want the images to be built *only* when needed, ie: when a
package is updated in security.debian.org, or when we have a point
release. That's what was done for the OpenStack images since Stretch.

It does. We're suppose to build images on casulana, and not out of the
CI. Having the CI is a good thing (thanks for working on this), but I
don't see why we should use the built artifacts from it, as Casulana was
supposed to be the server where we build. Could you explain why what we
were doing so far isn't possible anymore?
