I'm not part of DSA but it looks like quantz is suitable...

quantz has access to a local Debian mirror on NFS in
/srv/mirrors/debian{-security,-backports}.
For Skolelinux and Emdebian I guess you would need to download them
manually. If you wanted to run the analysis on more derivatives, the
derivatives census could provide a way to access those.

Send a patch for the debian.org-qa.debian.org package to DSA to get
new packages installed. IIRC DSA find backports to be acceptable.

Looks like there are some periods of low load about that long:

The partition holding /srv has 31G available. I expect the results of
this should not be backed up? Adding a .nobackup file in the relevant
directories will do that.

Great.
