Hi,

I'm new to go packaging. Having to add a new canonical mapping in
shortHostName I wondered why dh-make-golang, being Debian tooling is not a
native package I can just push changes to right in Salsa?

Is there a good reason for keeping it at a distance on GH and as a 3.0
(quilt) package?

Thanks,

I agree this should be a native package. This package isn't really
used anywhere outside Debian, and the current mix of semi-native leads
to oddities like duplicating upstream commit list in the Debian
release changelog update.

What do others in the Go team think, could we convert this into a
native package?

Dear Team,

I just found this opened bug while reviewing MR for dh-make-golang
package on salsa:
https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/dh-make-golang/-/merge_requests/8

Otto commented there:
 "I am aware that it is a bit stupid for this package to not be a native
 Debian package."

Do we agree to redirect https://github.com/Debian/dh-make-golang to our
Salsa repository and convert it into a native package?

This would make life much easier for contributors like Balachandran, who
is currently patching it to support new features for the Module-Aware
Builds transition and future updates.

Best regards,
