awesome, thank you both!

Just https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/debian-installer/merge_requests/3
is closed via Chris's NMU, isn't it? If so, maybe turn note_38705 into a
new bug/merge_request?

I'm also thinking about documenting the different types of .buildinfo
files we have somewhere, and I somewhat refrain from using the Debian
wiki, but maybe I shouldn't?
