I just took a quick look at the piuparts Salsa CI job definition, but I
didn't see anything related to adequate?
https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline/raw/master/salsa-ci.yml

But I'd prefer and recommend to make it a separate Salsa CI job and not
(try to) integrate it into another.
FWIW: not just wrt adequate, but with every (such) job

I think CI in general is *very* beneficial, but I'm aware and understand
that not everyone is a fan of it or Salsa in general.
There's a lot more to it, but it's probably best to leave that out of
this discussion.
