Hi Tincho,

thanks for your welcome. Nice having met you in person yesterday as well! :)

Thanks! I have already started contributing some libraries, e.g. as
dependencies for coyim (and coyim itself of course).

I see -- thanks for the clarification.

I have noticed that and hand-tweaked the dh-make-golang skeleton output
to make lintian happy and also looked at existing packages to get a

specific questions once they arise.
