Hi!

tldr;
Are people on the team fine with not using
recipes/debian.yml@salsa-ci-team/pipeline as the default setting in
future and using debian/salsa-ci.yml instead?

context:
I was looking at which of the Salsa CI jobs take longest and consume
most resources and stumbled across
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/graph-tool

The build uses more memory than available on a Salsa CI runner, and it
has never, and will never build. The reason it had CI running anyway
was that in the CI/CD configuration it had
`recipes/debian.yml@salsa-ci-team/pipeline`, which in turn was added
in all Python projects in an effort to enable CI to all packages.

I suggest a better practice would be to have as the CI/CD
configuration simply `debian/salsa-ci.yml` instead, so that the
pipeline runs only on Debian branches and starts running only after a
human added it there with intention and presumably that it actually
passed initially when CI was introduced.

I did this change now on the graph-tool project and also posted
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/graph-tool/-/merge_requests/1
to have the state of Salsa CI in the project documented.
