Impressive! Good job!

That must be indeed *so* hard! I think it's worth at least pushing what
you have to salsa, so that someone else can carry the torch from where
you stopped, if you get tired of this. Who knows, another golang
packager might also need the same dep and help you!

Really nice, a few comments inline...

surely that is packaged somehow. we have the `prometheus` binary package
already in Debian, maybe that could be reused?

oh wow, they link against cortex! that's massive right there...

i think i commented out the code linking to this in some other golang
package, and i can't remember which one it is right now. That is
probably as unhelpful as it sounds. :p

wtf, they link to etcd too.. wth is this thing. that is certainly used
by k8s.

that one is massive. i started using it for wallabako (#893648) and it
brought in a ridiculous number of deps. but it's faster and more
portable than the other sqlite lib I was using before, so that would be
really nice to have in Debian.
... if a little bonkers (that thing basically transpiles sqlite from C
to golang).

that's another one I used in wallabako, probably worth packaging in
debian in general, just because a bunch of golang packages are likely to
use it as well.

That's absolutely fine, I think, and it would be really awesome if you
could push what you have somewhere already, so that if someone wants to
resume the work on loki, they can start from there.
And, alternatively, that work would be useful for other packaging
efforts, I am sure.
Thank you so much!
