Hi,

This package fails to do build a binary-only build (not source) after a
successful build (dpkg-buildpackage ; dpkg-buildpackage -b).

This is probably a clear violation of Debian Policy section 4.9 (clean target),
but this is filed as severity:minor for now, because a discussion on
debian-devel showed that we might want to revisit the requirement of a working
'clean' target.

More information about this class of issues, included common problems and
solutions, is available at
https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/FTBFS/DoubleBuild

Relevant part of the build log:
Loading: 0 packages loaded
ERROR: no such package '@io_bazel_skydoc//': The repository's path is "io_bazel_skydoc" (absolute: "/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/mock_repos/bazel_skydoc") but this directory does not exist.

If you reassign this bug to another package, please mark it as 'affects'-ing
this package. See https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control#affects

If you fail to reproduce this, please provide a build log and diff it with mine
so that we can identify if something relevant changed in the meantime.

Is this bug still a problem? The latest QA build I can find [1] is for a
4.2.3 build of bazel-bootstrap and the current version is 7.7.1.

Thanks!
