Yep that sounds good.

For CI systems, I'm no expert and I've really only used Jenkins. Not
sure how difficult it would be to setup a Jenkins server somewhere, but
their documentation in general is pretty good:

https://jenkins.io/doc/book/installing/

However, I wonder if you really need to take this tangent path of
setting up and using a personal CI first before plugging it into ours. I
think if you just get the debian packaging going, then you can add it to
our jobs.

Here is a tutorial that looks really thourough (and quite recent too,
which is a bonus!):
