I just saw that one can customize the path to .gitlab-ci.yml:
https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/pipelines/settings.html#custom-ci-config-path

I suggest setting this path to “debian/gitlab-ci.yml” for our repositories,
so that we don’t need to mangle upstream’s .gitlab-ci.yml and have all
relevant files within the debian/ directory.
