Hi Andrew and Nilesh, first of all, thanks a lot to Nilesh for implementing those two tags, I consider them hugely useful right now. Especially xs-go-import-path-differs-from-module-path, which flags ~240 packages we need to work on. However, when this transition is over, both tags should have close to zero packages which trigger them. I think Nilesh is right here. Regarding the proposed new tag in this bug report, I also think it makes sense to implement a check in dh-go. However, I'm not sure we want to have build failures right now if the binary package name does not include the correct version suffix. I agree it's sensible in the long run. But right now, we already have loads of packages which FTBFS with the new tooling, even without this check. Shouldn't we concentrate our efforts in fixing the build failures first? If most packages build with dh-go, we can reconsider to implement a new check for the binary package name. Regards, Tobias
