@cjwatson from #Freexian gave a great talk at #DebConf25:
“Using Debusine to pre-test your unstable uploads”
https://debconf25.debconf.org/talks/29-using-debusine-to-pre-test-your-unstable-uploads/Learn what Debusine is, why we built it, and how you can use the features we have built to do QA work in Debian right now, including dput-ng integration, and scaling into clouds. Understand how Debusine runs builds & reverse-dependency tests before your package hits the archive — ideal for safer uploads and smoother transitions to Testing.

Bondi also confirmed that the US Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division and a US Attorney are "looking into the matter".
