If we trust our maintainers and the people running salsa we have enough
bikeshed for this today I think. In particular, the salsa-ci pipeline
does build debs in a reasonably controlled manner.
There might be some corner cases--you might want to have a way to verify
tag signatures before deploying.
But if availability of bikeshed is actually stopping us from something,
let the perfect not be the enemy of the good enough.
