Additional elements:

- In the meantime, Emilio changed package-operations to reference the 
new recipe for automated repository creation, thanks! :)
(The workflow doc still points to the old recipe).

- Emilio also answered this on IRC:

yml file would be best

I confirm that using the URL directly is currently annoying since even 
in LTS-only repos, it triggers for 'upstream' and 'pristine-tar' 
branches (which are not testable) :/

- Incidentally when attempting the new recipe with 'golang-1.11' it 
complains about having 0 jobs to perform
https://salsa.debian.org/lts-team/packages/golang-1.11/-/pipelines/521038

Cheers!
