[pkg-go] Bug#837756: prometheus-alertmanager: Please provide prometheus-alertmanager-dev

[Luca Bigliardi]

Package: prometheus-alertmanager
Severity: wishlist

prometheus-alertmanager can be configured send alerts to a generic webhook receiver:
https://prometheus.io/docs/alerting/configuration/#webhook-receiver-<webhook_config>

To unmarshal the JSON message, a webhook receiver implemented in Go should (re)use
the WebhookMessage structure defined in the
github.com/prometheus/alertmanager/notify package.

The prometheus-alertmanager debian source package should provide a
prometheus-alertmanager-dev package, so a webhook receiver in Go can be
packaged for debian without having to do vendoring of prometheus-alertmanager.

Please create prometheus-alertmanager-dev .

See https://github.com/prometheus/alertmanager/issues/505 for more details.
