It can be configured via the travis.yml file. See for example the
csound file, which also includes coverity integration (I planned to
add that as a follow up patch)[1]. I can re-post this patch pointing
notifications to this list.

By default travis sends a mail whenever the build breaks, and when the
build is fixed after a break. It sends the mail to the commit author,
if the author has write access to the github repository (to prevent
github forks from mailing the upstream authors). More information at
[2].

The edit-try loop is fairly slow since you have to wait for the travis
build to happen, which is why I didn't attempt to prune the list.
But some reasons for installing packages explicitly:

1. Not in build-dep (git-core, check)
2. Version upgrade after adding the trusty repositories. The build
failed if I didn't upgrade the autotools before building (not sure
why).
3. Me being lazy. dh-autoreconf is not used but I know it brings in
all the required deps for running autotools (we use that in the debian
package).

Some pruning may be possible, but perhaps it is better to scrap the
build-dep and be explicit on what is depended upon.
