Hm, I think you are talking at cross-purposes to Dmitry here. Nobody
was suggesting we upload the test packages to Debian; that would
surely be impossible.
Gitlab has a support for saving various parts of a successful build
for the next one. I believe the idea is that we would build the test
packages and then push them to this cache re-using them on any subsequent
test runs. People often use this to cache "pip" Python dependencies
but I don't see any obvious reason why we can't use it here.
(This is indexed by some cache key so that changing the testsuite
itself could/would rebuild the packages as appropriate.)
