[pkg-go] RFS: irtt/0.9-1 [ITP] (#888985)

[Michael Stapelberg]

Thanks for contributing this package.

The resulting binary package irtt_0.9-1_amd64.deb contains both a binary
and Go source code. This is a bit unusual: in Debian, we only package Go
source code to build other Go programs (not for developers). Hence, we
usually provide either a binary package with programs or an arch:all
package with Go source. It’s fine to have a source package which provides
both, but please separate the source from the binaries. Have a look at
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/codesearch.git/ for an example
of this pattern.

Further, please address the following lintian warnings:

P: irtt source: package-uses-old-debhelper-compat-version 10
P: irtt source: insecure-copyright-format-uri
http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/
I: irtt source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.9.8 (released 2016-04-06)
(current is 4.1.3)
I: irtt source: testsuite-autopkgtest-missing
W: irtt: priority-extra-is-replaced-by-priority-optional

You can run lintian like so:
% cat >> ~/.lintianrc <<'EOT'
display-info = yes
display-experimental = yes
pedantic = yes
show-overrides = no
color = auto
EOT
% lintian irtt_0.9-1_amd64.changes

Let me know once this is done and I’ll be happy to take another look.

BTW, you don’t need to upload the package to mentors. I always work with
the git repository directly.

Thanks!
