Hi

Thanks for noticing this -- the reason I hesitates was exactly because I
felt uncertain which namespace and which implementation to promote here.
There is only a little difference between these two packages, but maybe
some package somewhere breaks if we use one of them instead of the
other?  Which code path to pick?  I do agree it would be nice for one
package to export both namespaces, if indeed that really works.  Maybe
it is sufficient that it works for at least ONE package that use the
AdamKorcz namespace AND at least ONE package that use the AdaLogics
namespace?  Then we know there is reusability of the shared code without
causing breakage.  If some package eventually breaks as a result, we
have to figure out what to do about the situation later on.

Thoughts?
 
May I ask why you have packaged this? I don't see any other package build-depending on this package (in build-rdeps golang-github-adamkorcz-go-fuzz-headers-1-dev).

Looking at the difference between the two branches, it seems that the fork contains 9 additional commits that appears to only be adding functionality: https://github.com/AdaLogics/go-fuzz-headers/compare/main...AdamKorcz:go-fuzz-headers-1:main

With this, I think we can just install a symlink as suggested at https://go-team.pages.debian.net/packaging.html#_upstream_package_moves

Best,
