And then receive emails from GitHub if a build fails, even though you
never asked for it? Well, I've always preferred opt-in instead of
opt-out.
Btw, does it offer direct shell access for debugging?

... and on which we store the list of already successfully tested
trees, so when a branch is rebased changing e.g. only the commit
messages but leaving the code intact, then the CI won't run
unnecessary builds.

Why install all these dependencies here, when the very next command is
'ci/install-dependencies.sh', whose purpose is to install the
dependencies?

Likewise, and here you install some additional packages compared to
the clang job as well.

Likewise, except here you don't even run 'ci/install-dependencies.sh'
(which would install the same packages, btw.)
