   Back when I worked NEW: I very often wanted to see the list of files   
   installed by the package, and the full, expanded list of binary package   
   relationships.  Rarely, I would actually look inside the .deb.   
      
   These are real needs for NEW review.   
      
   I think one source of opposition for autobuilding packages before they   
   go into NEW is that the DFSG team won't yet has asserted/confirmed that   
   the license permits autobuilding.  But, well, we already have Salsa CI,   
   so I think that is not worth blocking on.
