Hi Juan (and go-team),

I am packaging helm.sh/helm/v4 and related leafs toward kzero
(ITP #1142432). The estimate pulls in go.opentelemetry.io/auto/sdk
via github.com/distribution/distribution/v3.

Your ITP #1136684 (golang-opentelemetry-auto) covers that import
path (and the wider auto / eBPF tree). It is not in the archive yet;
I am not filing a competing ITP.

Local rebuild of go-team/packages/golang-opentelemetry-auto on
2026-09-20 failed on Build-Depends: several packages have no candidate
in sid (e.g. aws-ecs-metadata-go, opentelemetry-operations-go,
sqlparser, opentelemetry-collector) and others are too old vs
debian/control (ebpf, multierr, x-arch, otel, contrib, …).

Two questions:

1) What is the current status / next step for landing this in
   unstable?

2) Would you be open to packaging go.opentelemetry.io/auto/sdk as a
   smaller leaf first (closer to the original auto-sdk ITP text —
   runtime deps mostly already in Debian), with the full eBPF auto
   package following later? If you prefer to keep one source package,
   I can instead help with missing leaf Build-Depends one at a time
   under go-team, if that is useful.

Separately: I run a small HTTPS staging apt on
https://packaging.hermesrodriguez.com/apt (personal MVP — not Debian).
If it helps your local rebuilds or Salsa CI EXTRA_REPOSITORY while
leaf -dev packages wait for unstable, I can publish built .debs there
and share a one-line sources.list / EXTRA_REPOSITORY snippet. Say the
word and which packages you want mirrored.

One more small note on both Salsa trees (go-team/packages and your
mendezr fork, debian/sid): there is debian/gitlab-ci.yml only — no
debian/salsa-ci.yml. It still includes the old pkg-go-tools
pipeline/test-archive.yml, and the project ci_config_path is unset
(null). Current go-team / Flight Deck preference is
debian/salsa-ci.yml (Salsa CI team recipe). Happy to send a tiny MR
that adds salsa-ci.yml and turns gitlab-ci.yml into a thin local
include wrapper, if you want — same pattern as recent leafs.

Happy to coordinate on Salsa or on this bug. Thanks for the work so
far.

Best regards,
Hermes Rodríguez
