  Description     : Ginkgo's Preferred Matcher Library

 Gomega is a matcher/assertion library.
 It is best paired with the Ginkgo BDD test framework,
 but can be adapted for use in other contexts too.


This is a common lib used for testing in GO.
It is a dependency for K9S (that I'm working on packaging).

gomega is already packaged (golang-gomega-dev)
It could be updated, and the package name changed to match the standard golang package naming,
but the package itself already exists.

Before filing ITPs, check if the packaging has already been done.

For instance, apt-cache searches throughout the distribution
  apt-cache search gomega

The package pages at https://tracker.debian.org/ also have a search which can
search for existing package names
