Well but that's the whole point of automated testing. There's no *need*
to do it locally if it's already done by Salsa for you. What is already
automated and working pretty well is:

- amd64 build
- i386 build
- source build
- autopkgtest
- blhc
- lintian
- piuparts
- reprotest
- arm64 crossbuild

That's a pretty time consuming list of things to go through for a human!

The only work left to be done on your machine is a binary build to see
if the packages look good, perhaps some specific manual testing [1],
source build and upload. Isn't that better?

[1] though that may be an opportunity for writing a new autopkgtest!
