Are there other go packages that use it *and* are suitable for Debian? I could find only a handful when I did a github codesearch and unsure how useful they are. It may not be worth spending (un-necessary) cycles here if we don't anticipate another package really using it. > The main change is: > override_dh_auto_install: > dh_auto_install -- --no-source No, don't do it. This will remove the usql binary from installation.

Yeah, but there's no harm in trying it out.
