I think this is always a good chance to get educated for new contributors while their reviewing process. So that they learn they should do `git status` before commit and do all their commits with cares and love. And I found it's been annoying for me. I have to run `rm debian/.gitignore` first at all with all the go packages I have been working on in the past. There are still a lot of missing dependencies for me to packaging for some packages. As the discussion and also the comment in the PR on github, we found there is no benifit for having `debian/.gitignore` file. Please merge and make a new upload ASAP: https://github.com/Debian/dh-make-golang/pull/317 So I don't have to run `rm debian/.gitignore` all the time. :) Best regards, -- -Andrew
