Thanks for your opinion about this.  What I mean with de facto standard:  We
have about 2000 repositories configured to check debian/salsa-ci.yml.  I have
not yet found a way to set the according field via gitlab API to something
else.  If this is scriptable I'd happily remove debian/salsa-ci.yml.  For the
moment I state two votes against salsa-ci.yml. ;-)

Kind regards
      Andreas.
