Kubuntu/CI/Metadata

This page outlines the debian/meta/ directory contents used by CI systems to create builds. The foremost reason the metadata is stored in debian/, and thus in a branch dependent manner, is because data might be different on a per-branch basis.

debian/meta/ can be present and useful for release branches if they are also subject to automation.
