This is mostly because it is required for the “Digital Kit”, but it also
works in our favor because now i can version the URL to the static
resources.
Go 1.18 adds the info from git if the package is build from a git
repository, but this is not the case in OBS, so i instead relay on a
constant for the version number. This constant is “updated” by Debian’s
rules, mostly due to the discussion in [0].

Although it is way too soon to install the application on any server,
i use build.opensuse.org as a kind of CI/CD server: it runs the
migration and executes the test suite on each commit. For that, i need
to build *some* package, and Debian suits be better because it has all
the Go packages i use; i would have to create the RPM for many libraries
if i were to use openSUSE, for instance.
According to the de facto project layout for Go[0], these files should
go into a `build/package` folder, but since i already broke the rules
with Sqitch’s folders, i do not see why i have to go against Debian’s
conventions of placing them into a `debian` subfolder of the root.
I have spit the package into the binary and the Sqitch migration files
because it is possible to want the PostgreSQL into a separate server,
and there is little point of having Sqitch and all its dependencies
installed on the front-end server where the Go program runs.
The demo package is probably harder to justify, as it is just a single
file, however i will not run out of packages, will i?
Lintian detects htmx@1.9.3.min.js as a “source-less” file, which is
practically true as nobody is ever going to edit a minified source. I
did not want to include the source in the distribution package, that’s
why i included it in the “missing sources” file, even thought this is a
native debian package and, thus, can not have missing sources.
git-buildpackage creates a lot of extra files that have to be removed
to build it again, otherwise the process detects the new files in the
directory and refuses to build the tarball. I was getting tired of
doing it manually and added a Makefile rule.
