Lintian maintainer here. What changes in particular are you planning?
No concrete plans yet for lintian. Depending on feedback and technical
feasibility, I was thinking of some experimental checks (when dh-golang
is used) along the lines of:
* The source package only builds one binary package.
* XS-Go-Import-Path contains only one entry (as a proxy for the one
Go module per source package best practice).
* XS-Go-Import-Path matches the module path in go.mod.
* The name of the source and binary packages matches the naming
conventions if this is the first release.
I wouldn't want it to be too noisy/obnoxious, so any suggestions would
be appreciated.
Thanks,
Richard
