I managed to get this package to build, and I belive it actually is required. Rekor is using it for "rekor-cli version":

Of course, we would have to be careful about setting the proper version fields to not cause reproducible build problems, but I believe that is possible using -ldflags=-X=sigs.k8s.io... parameters, compare: https://git.alpinelinux.org/aports/tree/community/rekor/APKBUILD https://github.com/sigstore/rekor/blob/9df89979ba08e76a3f86c0b7406a1ba90710ade6/Makefile#L58 /Simon
