I pushed my scripts to Salsa and added a wiki page with the output of them, this page has a more complete list: https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianGoTeam/ArchivedUpstreams I believe some of those packages should be removed from Debian. If they don't have reverse dependencies, they could be identified here first: https://go-team.pages.debian.net/infra/golang-qa-find-zombies/ That's a more actionable list with concrete ftp-master RM or severity:serious bug reports. Each of the testing removals has the opportunity to find a new orphan in testing. But eventually we'll find packages with archived upstreams with reverse dependencies in Debian. We should file upstream bug reports about that. > I am preparing a document for Module-Aware Builds transition, I will > try to cover all these into the document and publish on wiki ASAP. Thank you! There are so many minor concerns, and we need better tooling to generate consistency in the Go packages in Debian. /Simon
