Would be great if he targeted Debian. It's after all the upstream base for millions of Linux users.

  Centos is pretty compact and easy to setup for purposes of setting up a minimal VM to test this with, though.

This can of course be done as last pass a part of a CI runner pipeline with Gitlab or Jenkins build job.
