Indeed!

I've added some details in #331. Please, let me know if more details are
required.

Ah, I didn't know Ahmed had set time for this. Sorry, I didn't intent to
step on someone else's toes. Ahmed, please, feel free to take a look at
!521 (as you have already did) and !523 (currently in draft state). Your
review is more than welcome.

Ahmed, I have one idea: I am limiting the new tests for non-default-archs
to the base image. You could introduced (in another MR) the test for
other jobs (autopkgtest, blhc, lintian, ...), using the arm64 image.
Something as it is referenced in:
https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline/-/merge_requests/444
What do you think? Please, take this as a suggestion :-)

Cheers,

 -- Santiago
