Yes, that sounds good.

| Do you want me to create a server? Which Debian version is best?
Debian stable? I always used testing because of an urge to get newer packages.
Could also use Ubuntu LTS (16.04) or current 16.10.
It should not really matter as ...
| Will we be building in Docker?
... we could (your scripts) but all "we" have done in the past use the tools
Debian has which predate Docker: pbuilder etc pp. They are a little
lighterweight, and have 'tools that build them'. On the marging we may be
close to indifferent with a lean towards using the distro-native tools.
My $0.02, maybe Michael and Don want to chime in too...
