Hi Sergio,

I am writing to you as current Debian Maintainer of golang-pb.

I would like to update the package to a newer upstream version, which
is needed to build acmetool. In the process I would like to set the
Maintainer to the Debian Go package team, and include you and myself
in the Uploaders field.

To reflect the Go package naming policy, I would like to rename the
source package from golang-pb to golang-github-cheggaaa-pb, and the
binary package from golang-pb-dev to golang-github-cheggaaa-pb-dev
with a Conflicts/Provides/Replaces for golang-pb-dev.

Please take a look at the proposed updated packaging [1], which is
maintained using git-buildpackage. I have imported your existing
Debian-specific commits from the old repository [2].

[1] https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-go/packages/golang-github-cheggaaa-pb.git
[2] https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-go/packages/golang-pb.git

Are you fine the proposed changes? If yes, I will upload the above
package via a request for sponsorship. I have verified that the only
reverse dependency on the package, etcd, builds using the new version.

When the renamed source package has been accepted into the archive,
I will subsequently request the removal of the old source package.

Regards,
Peter
