One last blocker is the build-dep on golang-github-prometheus-client-golang-dev
I have contacted its maintainers but did not receive an answer since. I wonder
would it be OK to do a backport of the required module (instead of an upgrade)
as proposed here[2] and do a team upload to experimental?
Backporting patch should be OK, I tend to think. But maybe the maintainers didn't see the bug report yet.
Can you CC the maintainers on that bug report once and prod them again?
If there's no response for a week or so, we'll upload to -experimental- and inform the maintainers about the same.
Sounds fair?
Or, maybe it's cheaper if you update to the latest, and you run ratt once. If nothing breaks, we could directly push to unstable too, to avoid the trip from exp -> unstable.
If something does break, and it can be fixed without touching many packages, that'd be a sensible route too, IMO
