I too had rather hoped that it would already have been fixed by now. On the other hand, it's taken over a month so far. Rather than living in hope for another month, I thought it might be worth removing this as a blocker (I've had to tell a couple of people that they'll need to wait before they can do their salsa-CI tests :-/ ) I can just tell branch2repo to use the 'philh' D-I repo in the mean time, and that'll fix the salsa-CI side of things, but that doesn't help debian-cd or people's ability to build D-I locally.
