Bug#847350: RFS: golang-github-minio-minio-go/2.0.2+dfsg-1

repacking to drop bundled dependencies is sometimes called ds (Debian Source) repack,
non dfsg (even if nobody ever wrote some documentation for this).

If you prefer a dfsg tarball, it is fine for me, but I don't get why you used
debian/clean to remove such files, and now you want a source repack.
Not sure if I got it correctly, but the removal of the tests has nothing to
do with bundled dependencies, but more a "remove tests that we can't run on
Debian infrastructure".

Can you please explain again your point?
I admit I worked only a little on golang-* packages, and I would like to learn something
more :)
(btw feel free to cancel/reschedule, or tell me what to do with this upload)

thanks!
