our gitlab-ci has not managed to build a tor nightly in ages.

eg
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/debian/tor/-/jobs/479743
| ERROR: Preparation failed: Error response from daemon: container

or

https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/debian/tor/-/jobs/479407

unless our gitlab-ci actually manages to build a whole set, you won't
see packages on deb.tpo.

cf.

https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/debian/tor/-/pipelines?scope=all&page=1&ref=debian-main

some of these are actual tor building issues,
like https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/debian/tor/-/jobs/479068

| sandbox/opendir_dirname: [forking] 
|   FAIL ../src/test/test_sandbox.c:266: opendir: Operation not permitted [1]
|   [opendir_dirname FAILED]
| sandbox/chmod_filename: [forking] OK

but since almost all build failures are actually problems with gitlab
and not problems with the packaging (neither is that one), it's just
tiresome to even start investigating.
