I honestly never bother with the local QEMU container build sripts as
they've over-engineered IMHO.  If I need to debug something locally
I'd just do  "podman build -f path/to/docker-file /path/to/docker-dir".

Alternatively just make your changes to the dockerfiles and thne push
the branch to gitlab. Gitlab will run the build and you can pull down
the docker image from your fork's docker registry
