Clarification: Out of the 89 packages, 4 failed but not due to
golang-go.opencensus:

  FAILED: cadvisor (see buildlogs/cadvisor_0.38.7+ds1-2)
  FAILED: golang-github-prometheus-common
                (see buildlogs/golang-github-prometheus-common_0.15.0-2)
  FAILED: nomad (see buildlogs/nomad_0.12.10+dfsg1-3)
  FAILED: nomad-driver-podman (see buildlogs/nomad-driver-podman_0.1.0-2)

3 of them, cadvisor, nomad and nomad-driver-podman are currently FTBFS
in the archive and are not in "testing".

As for golang-github-prometheus-common_0.15.0-2, ratt picked the wrong
version in stable (bullseye) instead of 0.39.0-2 in sid.
Apparently, ratt's dependency dose-ceve does not handle the multiple
"same Package, different Version" entries in the source list
and simply picks the first one:

  $ grep -A2 '^Package: golang-github-prometheus-common' \
        /var/lib/apt/lists/deb.debian.org_debian_dists_sid_main_source_Sources
  Package: golang-github-prometheus-common
  Binary: golang-github-prometheus-common-dev
  Version: 0.15.0-2
  --
  Package: golang-github-prometheus-common
  Binary: golang-github-prometheus-common-dev
  Version: 0.39.0-2

So, while this erroneous sbuild command fails:
  sbuild --arch-all --dist=unstable --nolog \
      golang-github-prometheus-common_0.15.0-2 \
      --extra-package=../golang-go.opencensus-dev_0.24.0-1_all.deb

the correct sbuild command pointing to the correct version in sid passes:
  sbuild --arch-all --dist=unstable --nolog \
      golang-github-prometheus-common_0.39.0-2 \
      --extra-package=../golang-go.opencensus-dev_0.24.0-1_all.deb

So, yes, it is perfectly safe to upgrade golang-go.opencensus 0.23.0-4
to 0.24.0-1.

Many thanks!
