Source: kubernetes
Version: 1.17.4-1
Severity: serious
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-c...@lists.debian.org

As discussed in debian-devel [1], Kubernetes package abuses Debian practices 
and Golang team policies by needlessly vendoring hundreds(!) of libraries,
most of which are available in Debian.

For a complex package like Kubernetes, _some_ strategic vendoring would be
understandable for practical reasons. But not everything.

Maintainer circumvented packaging practices and introduced re-packaged
Kubernetes in a state that would have never been accepted by ftp-masters.

Please consider removing redundant libraries from "vendor".
In the current state, the package is unsuitable for "stable".
