As I just discovered, it's not as easy as just packaging ipp-usb; the current packaging isn't Debian Policy compliant in that it relies on the network to download the goipp package through go's packaging system: as Debian packages need to be built without any network access, it means that I need to first package goipp and all its eventual dependencies first. This seems to be https://github.com/OpenPrinting/goipp , which needs to enter Debian first. Would it be possible to release/tag it with some version (0.0.1 ?)? Now I need to get acquainted with Go packaging. Regards, OdyX
