Security updates for software written in Go



Hello,

the Debian Buster release notes state that no security updates are possible for software written in Go due to its static linking - Debian lacks the infrastructure to mass-rebuild all affected Go packages. Did this change in the mean time? If not, is there ongoing work to change this?

The same release notes state that just Firefox and Chromium can be supported with security updates, but Chromium is several major versions behind in Buster, it appears as vulnerable to lots of CVEs and the last DSA for chromium was at the beginning of July.

Best regards,
Laurentiu
