  • Instead of building all images individually, try and build Apertis-based
    ones from the same common ground. First create a fairly basic Apertis
    ospack with a few development tools in, then create a Docker image out of
    it and layer things on top of it.
    
    This unifies the previously separate overlays for the package builder and
    the package source builder, only keeping the real differences in their
    respective overlays.
    
    We opt to not use Docker proper since it requires non-trivial
    Docker-in-Docker setup. Makisu, which could be used as an alternative,
    unfortunately, has buggy implementation of the ADD command, leaving us
    the only option to use Kaniko.
    
    The docker building step is templated in .gitlab-ci.yml to avoid
    repetition. The Debian-based images don’t normally have to depend on the
    rootfs building step, but to be able to run them asynchronously in the
    same pipeline stage we need to declare the dependency anyway, as GitLab CI
    does not currently support empty "needs" lists.
    
    The branches named apertis/* build their respective Apertis releases,
    everything else builds the default defined in the CI YAML file.
    
    The jobs for apertis/* branches tag their build images as "latest", every
    other job uses the branch name.
    
    For robustness, the debos rootfs step uses a stable v2020 image builder
    step instead of the currently built one.
