I agree. As long as we still ship installation DVDs that won't cleanly
install on the majority of end-user workstation hardware and even on a
sizeable portion of server hardware, call this a feature and dismiss the
working DVD image as "unofficial and not part of Debian proper" this
looks at least a bit skewed.

Alone going for Gitlab as the software platform for Salsa was
problematic, but OK for me due to lack of a viable alternative.
