some package (ie.https://github.com/toorop/go-dkim)can be translated to debian package successfully, while some others failed, I can't find what's wrong.

some package (e.g. https://github.com/toorop/go-dkim) can be translated to debian package successfully, while some others failed, I can't find what's wrong.

https://github.com/helm/helm uses Go module, and is named helm.sh/helm/v3 in the first line of its go.mod, where v3 means major version 3.

github.com/toorop/go-dkim, on the other hand, has not migrated to Go module (no go.mod file).

dh-make-golang v0.6.0 does not handle newer Go packages with specified major version (e.g. v2, v3) too well as its dependency resolution mechanism predates Go modules (GO111MODULE set to off explicitly), hence the warning messages:

code in directory /tmp/dh-make-golang65739910/src/github.com/helm/helm/cmd/helm expects import "helm.sh/helm/v3/cmd/helm"

Anyhow, your report seems like a duplicate of:

• Fails to deal with v2+ module directory #135

so I'll be closing this issue. Let's continue our discussions there at #135!
