Doko asked me to look at the package and it seems OK to me on a quick
glance. (Only spent a few minutes, let me know if you'd like a deeper
review!)

On the packaging side, I'm a bit surprised at the use of go:generate to
create the shared lib but it works I guess. Another thing that's more on
the taste side is that rather than knowing that debhelper puts build
artefacts in obj-$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE), I prefer to pass
--builddirectory=_build or whatever to dh.

I'd generally be happier if the vendor directory wasn't in the source
tarball at all (which would also get you out of updating
debian/copyright :-p). I think you can do this by putting tar-ignore
=ubuntu-report/vendor into debian/source/options? (Side comment: why is
debian/ in .gitignore??)

Title:
  [MIR] ubuntu-report: send telemetry data to ubuntu server

Status in ubuntu-report package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Note that only the C library ("libsysmetrics1") and the command line
  ("ubuntu-report") packages are needed in main (we should also promote
  "libsysmetrics-dev" package, even if not necessary). We don't need the
  Go API "golang-github-ubuntu-ubuntu-report-dev" which has many go
  package dependencies in universe.

  [Availability]
  Available and built on all archs.

  [Rationale]
  We want to provide telemetry upload features, collected by ubiquity, 
do-release-upgrader and that package in ubnutu 18.04. see 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1755456 for more 
rationales and details.

  [Security]
  No security issue reported, as brand new package.
  The package do a POST message over https to an ubuntu server, data being sent 
are really limited to garantee anynomous informations.
  See example of what is sent on https://github.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-report README.

  [Quality assurance]
  The canonical desktop team is the upstream maintainer and will continue 
maintening it.
  Upstream has CI built-in on every commit + coverage report. The package build 
and runs (currently) 243 tests from unit to integration tests. Autopkgtests 
ensuring that building works and tests still pass is also provided.

  In addition the documentation and C API are continously strongly
  tested (with examples extracted from the documentation, built, linked
  against a on-demand generated C library, and tests ran against it).

  [Dependencies]
  Upstream is using a vendor/ directory, but the ubuntu package remove it on 
build and use the distribution packaged build-deps equivalent.
  No runtime dep in the 3 packages that needs to be promoted.

  [Standards compliance]
  Package follow latest debian packaging standard compliant. No lintian 
override files, and binaries/packages follows Debian standard FHS. Note that 
there is no .symbols file as the generated C API export internal symbols 
(starting with _) which names contains a hash dependant of the source file, and 
per arch specific. The exported symbols from the public API have a stable name 
though: https://godoc.org/github.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-report/pkg/sysmetrics/C

  [Maintenance]
  Canonical desktop team being the usptream and downstream maintainer, strongly 
backed by tests, will follow bugs and maintenance.
