• Covered the whole tree (36 upstream files plus debian/): grepped every file outside .pc/ for Copyright, (C), ©, SPDX-License-Identifier, Licensed under, Permission is hereby granted, GPL/LGPL/Apache/MPL, public domain and All rights reserved. The only hits are LICENSE and debian/copyright; also grepped for Code generated/go:generate/DO NOT EDIT (no matches) and for adapted/copied/based on/derived from (none), so nothing in the tree claims another origin.
• Prescan: it listed no file for review; its only result was that every holder found is named in debian/copyright, which matches my own grep (LICENSE: Copyright (c) 2022 Liam Galvin).
• Files the tree's own documentation or config could hide terms in are innocent: README.md (usage and benchmark numbers, no licence text), .github/workflows/test.yml (upstream GitHub CI, actions/checkout@v2/setup-go@v2, no notice), _examples/basic/main.go (upstream example program, Expat code covered by Files: *), .vimspector.json (editor debugger configuration, data), go.sum (dependency checksums only; no dependency source is shipped, so no third-party copyright belongs in debian/copyright).
• debian/copyright in full: DEP-5, Format: the exact 1.0 URL, Source/Upstream-Name/Upstream-Contact present, Files: * with two holders and License: Expat, Files: debian/* last (so it overrides the catch-all), and a standalone License: Expat paragraph containing the full MIT/Expat text, identical to LICENSE. Expat is DFSG-free, and nothing is combined with an incompatible licence. No Files-Excluded is declared, and no file has been removed from the upstream tarball.
• debian/ read in full: changelog, control, copyright, gbp.conf, rules, salsa-ci.yml, source/format (3.0 quilt), upstream/metadata; debian/watch left to the separate check. There is no debian/patches/ and .pc/applied-patches is empty, so there are no patches that could lack DEP-3 headers or need forwarding.
• Build-Depends checked against the archive lists: debhelper-compat (= 14), dh-go 1.69 (provides the golang sequence addon and buildsystem; Conflicts: dh-golang, and it does not provide dh-sequence-golang, hence --with=golang), dpkg-build-api (= 1) (provided by dpkg-dev 1.23.11), golang-any 1:1.27, golang-github-stretchr-testify-dev 1.11.1. testify is a test-only import and is marked <!nocheck>, which is right for a -dev package with no runtime Go dependencies.
• dpkg-build-api (= 1) makes Rules-Requires-Root default to no (dpkg-build-api(7), API LEVELS v1), so its absence from debian/control is not a fault.
• Standards-Version 4.7.4 against the reviewing Policy 4.7.4.1: same first two components, so current enough and not an issue.
• Package: golang-github-aquasecurity-jfather-dev, Architecture: all, Multi-Arch: foreign for a source-only Go library package, XS-Go-Import-Path matching the module path in go.mod, Depends: ${misc:Depends}, alone at compat 14 (dh_gencontrol adds relationship substvars itself; dpkg-gencontrol deletes the field when it resolves empty).
• go.mod requires testify v1.7.0 while Debian has 1.11.1: not a problem, because dh-go's golang buildsystem sets GO111MODULE=off and build/test run in GOPATH mode, where the version requirement is not consulted.
• debian/gbp.conf: dist = DEP14 is a genuine gbp setting, not a stray distribution name — /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gbp/scripts/buildpackage.py get_pbuilder_dist() handles 'DEP14'/'DEP-14' by deriving the dist from the DEP-14 branch name; the remaining options (debian-branch = debian/sid, pristine-tar, ignore-branch) are the Go team's template. Not an issue.
• debian/changelog: version 0.0.8-1 (upstream 0.0.8, Debian revision 1), unstable, initial release closing #1152527, maintainer matching Uploaders and the debian/* copyright; date Fri, 30 Oct 2026 is consistent with the stated year and with today's date.
• uscan found the packaged version as the newest upstream release (upstream 0.0.8, packaged 0.0.8).

• debian/rules builds in debian/_build, but dh_golang_autopkgtest (the script dh-go ships for Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-go; /usr/bin/dh_golang_autopkgtest, whose add_configure_override() appends override_dh_auto_configure: mkdir -p "${APT_BDIR}" ...) computes APT_BDIR from load_buildsystem("golang")->get_builddir() with no options, i.e. the compat-14 default _build (golang.pm DEFAULT_BUILD_DIRECTORY), not the package's debian/_build. If autopkgtest dispatches pkg-go to that script and installs the built -dev package, its override configures _build and leaves debian/_build uncreated, where dh_auto_build then fails in get_targets (opendir debian/_build/src/github.com/aquasecurity/jfather); if the script is not what runs, the option is merely unnecessary. autopkgtest is not installed on the reviewing system, so I could not see the dispatch, and no build or test was run. An autopkgtest run would show which; dropping --builddirectory=debian/_build (compat 14 already defaults to _build) would settle it either way.
• The Vcs-Git/Vcs-Browser URLs under salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/ cannot be checked from here (no network access); they follow the Go team's layout, and the package is not yet in the archive lists.

None.
