  Description     : augment the flag package with commands

 Building on top of the excellent flag package from the standard library,
 cmdflag adds a simple way of specifying nested commands. It maintains
 compatibility with flag's idioms as it facilitates the augmentation of
 "flag" with commands.

This package is a dependency of golang-github-pierrec-lz4.v4

Golang FTBFS are funny...and it turns out neither
golang-github-pierrec-cmdflag, nor its dependency golang-github-xo-dburl
are actually needed for golang-github-pierrec-lz4.v4

That said, I did the work in the process of debugging
golang-github-pierrec-lz4.v4's FTBFS while learning Golang packaging,
and the packages are in good shape, and are only waiting for someone who
is willing to maintain them:

https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/golang-github-xo-dburl.git
    * Use debian/sid branch.  Upstream was created first due to a bug in
    dh-make-golang and I have insufficient salsa permissions to fix
    this.

https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/golang-github-pierrec-cmdflag.git
    * Aha, that's not necessarily a dh-make-golang bug, but may be a
    method to prevent commit history from flooding #debian-golang on IRC

Best,
Nicholas
