Writing man pages sound like something best handled upstream.  Perhaps
you can submit patches there?

On lintian warnings - I can adapt the project's github wiki pages into 
man pages, if necessary.

Just for the record, as the package git repo currently is the upstream
repo at github, and the plan is to move the Debian packaging to the
golang team, I got the git repo

 All

relevant Debian packaging parts where already in upstreams repo.

Version 1.5.2.1-1 was just uploaded to NEW based on the upstream git
repo.  I expect other uploads will be taken to improve the situation
further.  This was primary to get a slot in the NEW queue.

For the record, I am in touch with upstream and helping him get the
1.5.0 branch ready to upload into Debian.

The opensnitch daemon fail to start with the following message in
/var/log/opensnitchd.log:

2023-01-19 21:56:02]  IMP  Starting opensnitch-daemon v1.0.0b

opensnitch_exec_probe: write /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events: no such

The opensnitch-ui program fail to start with this error:

I further tried to build the latest upstream source after importing it
using uscan and gbp import-orig, but could not get it to build.  Do not
know the Go language enough to debug this, but I suspect the issue is
new dependencies missing in Debian.

I would be happy to assist too, if you need help.  Ping me on IRC, for
example.

Hey aliasarmor,

It would be great to have you as the package maintainer!  I'm a Debian Developer 
and can mentor you through the process.  The first step is to get it building on 
Debian unstable.  Then get it building with only packages from Debian. Looks 
like lamby started that process here:

Consequently I'm updating the title/owner of the opensnitch wnpp bug.

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: la...@debian.org
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-de...@lists.debian.org

* Package name: opensnitch
  Version : 0~git20180913+e9c10b9-1
  Upstream Author : Simone "evilsocket" Margaritelli 
* URL : https://opensnitch.io/
* License : GPL-3
  Programming Lang: Go / Python (Qt)
  Description : Port of the Little Snitch application firewall

OpenSnitch works on the same principles of the macOS version, being a
host-based firewall that notifies users when local apps are attempting to
initiate new outgoing network connections.

When this happens, OpenSnitch will display a popup, asking the user for
instructions on how to deal with this new process.

All user decisions are saved as rules in local JSON files. Users can edit
these rules later to fine-tune the firewall or import/export rules from/to
other systems.
