The CI intentionally ignores GNULIB_REVISION or a gnulib submodule
and instead always uses the newest gnulib from its 'master' branch,
so that
  - we detect breakages early,
  - the package maintainers don't accumulate technical debt regarding gnulib,
    that at some point would deter from upgrading to a newer gnulib _ever_
    again.
