I added a debian/golang-github-peterbourgon-ff-dev.links with

    usr/share/gocode/src/github.com/peterbourgon/ff

set debhelper-compat (= 14), but I get this error:

It's out of scope for current sprint. We may leave this debhelper 14
related stuff for later stage.
Can you try to make the links with debhelper 13 and see it resolve
your original issue?

Best regards,

Hi,



With dh-golang (>= 1.66~exp2):

With dh-golang 1.65:

 is a directory

With debhelper 13, the warnings go away but the problem remains the same...
