I previously try to avoid such circular, but seems failed. In src:golang-google-grpc, the package tried to avoid Build-Depends golang-google-genproto-dev, so vendored some files when building. I put three files in debian/vendor/google.golang.org/genproto/googleapis/rpc and copy them to $(BUILDDIR)/src/ However the -dev package can't just do that. Maybe we need to break the golang-google-genproto-dev to two package, one that only contains google.golang.org/genproto/googleapis/rpc? like golang-google-cloud-compute-metadata-dev? And if we break golang-google-genproto-dev to two -dev package, one is golang-google-genproto-rpc-dev. Can the src:golang-google-grpc Build-Depends google-genproto-rpc-dev, maybe the src packages Build-Depends still have circular? -- Best regards, Shengjing Zhu
