Thank you, Martin. :)
I think your procedure could be improved if "git merge upstream/2.1"
is modified with "--squash" to produce one neat merge commit to "master"
instead of flood of upstream commits that make it difficult to identify
packaging-related commits. Merge from upstream branch that follows upstream
history makes it difficult to review packaging changes therefore I see it as
counter-productive especially for team-maintained packages. I do not mind
having full upstream history in "upstream" branch but not in "master"...

Because it was used on arch-all -dev package shipping sources...
Built-Using on -dev packages is an artifact of older versions of dh-make-
golang which do not add "Built-Using" to -dev packages any more.
Anyway "Built-Using" is not meant to be used with -dev packages. Built-Using
field is usually applied to binaries incorporating portion of another package
or built using another package without explicit dependency.
-dev packages should already depend on all related -dev dependencies.
