The webpage which was prepared to document the steps for LTS [0],
includes this:
Maintainer snippet: excludes source-only/arch-all packages, but misses some
packages such as ‘aptly’ (missing/incomplete Built-Using field):
apt-cache dumpavail | \
grep-dctrl \
-F Built-Using 'golang-1.7' -a \
'(' --not -F Architecture all ')' \
-s Source,Package,Version
The link indicates that it originated from #863956. However, in
discussion with Sylvain (who authored the page) he indicated that for
LTS this is not always a good approach, as Built-Using was much less
reliably available in buster. Are you aware of the situation being
different for buster?
