The second disadvantage recently came up in [1]. I proposed a possible fix for
discussion at [2]. Bastian thought the discussion needed to happen on the ML,
not salsa. So here we are!
Context for others: currently, the daily builds don't use the latest
tools/config from debian-cloud-images. Instead, a git submodule has to be
occasionally updated. The change at [2] pulls the latest submodule before
doing anything with the debian-cloud-image tools/config.
That change assumes that we continue with a single common code base for the
tools. If we break it into different branches/packages for different releases,
[2] doesn't make sense.
I'm not invested in the change - it's short enough that I found it easier to
write a patch than to describe it.
