Welcome back! And yes, you need to unbundle the vendors(as much as you can), making every library a single Debian package. For Go packaging, you can read the team page first, https://go-team.pages.debian.net/. Then you'll find the recommended tool, dh-make-golang, which helps a lot when creating new packages. IMHO, the container ecosystem in Debian is not healthy... It needs to package *a lot of* dependencies and a lot of work! I don't expect you can finish them very soon... But we do need more container related tools to be packaged! -- Shengjing Zhu
