Hi,

I am resurrecting this old discussion from 2024 and 2025: I don't like
how Go builds currently use `_build/` as the build directory, and as a
consequence lots of Debian Go packages end up modifying the upstream
`.gitignore` to exclude `_build/`.

I'd rather have build artifacts in `debian/_build` and exclude this
directory in `debian/.gitignore`.

A MR that implements this has been open for 1+ years at
https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/dh-golang/-/merge_requests/26
with some thumbs up and no objections. I have advertised and asked
people to review open team tooling MRs several times on this list,
most recently in
https://lists.debian.org/debian-go/2026/05/msg00041.html

If you don't show up to provide feedback when changes are prepared,
showing up later to revert commits that someone else spent years
implementing does no one any service. Please take some time to review
open MRs and PRs now.

Thanks!
