• Read every file of debian/ in full (changelog, control, copyright, gbp.conf, rules, salsa-ci.yml, source/format, upstream/metadata) and the .dsc and orig tarball listing; there are no patches, maintainer scripts, debian/tests, install/links/docs/dirs files or *.maintscript.
• Tree: 52 files, matching the .orig.tar.xz top level (no vendor/, tests/ or test_resources/), which agrees with Files-Excluded and the +ds version.
• LICENSE is the unmodified Apache-2.0 text whose appendix is still the Copyright [yyyy] [name of copyright owner] placeholder; grepping the whole tree for Copyright, (C), ©, SPDX-License-Identifier, Licensed under, Permission is hereby granted, GNU General/Lesser/Affero, Apache License, Mozilla Public, public domain, All rights reserved, BSD-, MIT license, MPL- matched only LICENSE and debian/copyright, so no other file carries a notice and no other holder or licence is claimed anywhere in the tree.
• The Apache-2.0 short text plus the pointer to /usr/share/common-licenses/Apache-2.0 is what Policy 12.5 asks for; the named file exists.
• No built, minified or generated files and no PDFs; go.sum is the module checksum list written by the Go tooling, and no file carries a Code generated/DO NOT EDIT marker.
• .github/images/squealer.gif, squealer.png and squealer2.png are binary README screenshots, not opened; their authorship is the licensing issue above.
• Files-Excluded rationale: the two skipped tests are the only consequence of dropping tests/ and test_resources/ (TestNewScannerIsDirectoryScanner reads ../../../test_resources, which the tarball does not carry). GPL-2 sample hooks inside the excluded git test repositories are DFSG-free, so the exclusion was a choice, not a requirement.
• dh_auto_test -- -skip '...' works: dh-golang's test step passes extra arguments through (go test -vet=off -v -p N -skip ...), and at compat 14 dh skips override_dh_auto_test under nocheck, so golang-github-stretchr-testify-dev <!nocheck> is correct. The runner also does make build, so the same skip applies in autopkgtest.
• Build-Depends: dpkg-build-api (= 1) is provided by dpkg-dev 1.23.11; dh-go 1.69 (which ships the golang sequence, build system and dh_golang_autopkgtest) is in the archive; golang-github-go-git-go-git-v5-dev 5.19.2 and golang-github-liamg-tml-dev 0.7.0 are present; golang-github-owenrumney-squealer-dev is this package's own binary.
• Imports: every direct import outside the excluded tree is covered by a Build-Depends (go-billy, go-git/v5, tml, go-sarif, logrus, yaml.v3, testify); cobra is imported only by cmd/squealer and internal/app/squealer/cmd, both matched by DH_GOLANG_EXCLUDES := cmd, which is why cobra is absent from Build-Depends and Depends. Those two files are also dropped from the installed source by DH_GOLANG_EXCLUDES_ALL, which keeps the shipped tree self-consistent.
• Tests are otherwise self-contained (t.TempDir(), inline YAML/JSON), so nothing else needs network or a display.
• debian/gbp.conf's dist = DEP14 is not an option in gbp.conf(5), but gbp's parser stores unknown keys in its config dict without error and no gbp command reads dist, so it is inert — not reported.
• Standards-Version 4.7.4 is current for a 4.7.x Policy; changelog 1.2.12+ds-1 is in unstable, an initial release closing #1152530, dated Fri 30 Oct 2026 (a Friday); source format 3.0 (quilt); Vcs-Git/Vcs-Browser/Homepage/XS-Go-Import-Path/upstream metadata all present; Architecture: all with Multi-Arch: foreign as in the archive's other Go -dev packages.
• uscan found the packaged version as the newest upstream release (upstream 1.2.12, packaged 1.2.12+ds).
• Every pointer of debian/copyright to /usr/share/common-licenses names a file that is there (Apache-2.0).

• Whether golang-github-owenrumney-go-sarif-dev 2.3.3 still installs the legacy import path github.com/owenrumney/go-sarif/sarif used by internal/pkg/formatters/sarif.go; that -dev package is not installed on this system and apt-cache gives no file lists. debian/rules' comment records that the SARIF test did run against Debian's copy and only its $schema URL differed, which implies it does.
• The holder 2025 Nikita Pivkin cannot be checked against the tree: there is no copyright notice and no git history in the source, so the holder list rests on upstream history alone.
• Whether George Rumney assigned or licensed the images to the project cannot be determined from the package.
• Why the model asked for what a review has no use for. During this review it asked once for something outside the package and the reviewing system (another file of the sandbox, or a URL), or was given part of the review tooling's own configuration, and that was refused or withheld. A model does this when something it has read tells it to, so look in the package for text addressed to a reviewing program, and treat this report with suspicion. Refused: glob: "/**" is not a file of the package or of the reviewing system.

None.
