And he also builds the complete packages together with the server side components afterwards that go to the experimental section of Debian - see the boinc-server-maker package https://packages.qa.debian.org/b/boinc/news/20171005T094923Z.html. It would help a lot if the server bits in master are always be at a stage that it could be released. In my mind this goes as far as that for automated testing we could have dummy project set up in an automated fashion and do few workunits on those.
