[Librem-5-dev] applications using native debs

[rinigus]

Heather,

thank you very much! I will look into it, probably its a way to do that.
When comparing the build times in that monitor to the build times of the
maps related software, I have few packages that may need about 2 hours to
compile for arm. So, would be great to test it first before plugging it
into your system.

In general, I will have to learn how to package for Debian and it would be
great to test it on some CI system before plugging it into your builds.
Suggestions for CI systems allowing to build private repos with packages
depending on each other are appreciated. So far, looks like Ubuntu's PPAs
would fit the bill, but maybe there is something else as well.

I am sure there lots of resources on how to package for Debian, those I
hope to look up myself.

Cheers,

Rinigus
