This developer is largely responsible for the Go ecosystem in Debian where they develop against HEAD. That's pretty hard and results in a lot of breakages. Go developers don't give a shit and push a lot of the externalities onto distro packages like Debian packagers (volunteers) or else Google developers (who get paid a huge amount to do bullshit engineering that nobody else cares about).
We're making a lot of progress with Debian Rust packages and have automated away 90% of the ordinary Debian crap - which is needed in the general case but not for Rust where the constraints are very well-defined by Cargo - you only have to maintain two files (d/changelog and d/copyright) for the vast majority of Debian Rust crates.
