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,
--Daniel

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?
