Correct.

About CONFIGURATION_FROM_GIT
https://salsa.debian.org/live-team/live-build/-/merge_requests/360/diffs#9221863742451e920c978c9e0eb2f9bd58bf2777_212_214

I recommend to build the image like all others.
Debian Junior is also part of live-tasks:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/live-tasks

live-task-debian-junior

Maybe like this:

	"debian-junior")
		INSTALLER="live"
		PACKAGES="live-task-debian-junior"

In this case, we also following the "upload" process and the
image will be build of files which are part of Debian already.

No, from my side it's not required to have a weekly build, yet.
First, I would like to see if everything is working as expected.

Good question. :) The package is a meta package,.. I'm not sure
about functional tests on meta packages. Be honest, I didn't
think about openQA.

Sure, when the image would be build based on the
CONFIGURATION_FROM_GIT, it would be important. But I think it
shouldn't be build bases on the repository itself.
