I would agree with not gating on stuff that -infra is working on too. 
If getting gerrit collaboration is useful to Debian / Ubuntu, simple 
gate-noop testing seems like a easy solution.

I agree, anything we in -infra can to do help establish some base 
tooling (chroots for example) would be super awesome.  However, I also 
have expectation for packagers to use their own toolchains if more 
convenient.
