Certainly AFAIK. I didn't mean to imply otherwise. But FOSS as distributed in binary packages by Debian needs to remain possible to inspect, modify and build via the Debian (source) mirrors - hence all dependencies need to be packaged too (as opposed to living their seperate existence somewhere "go get" may be able to retrieve them from - or not ten years from now - and your respirator depends on a certain version of caddy for it's status display...).

Ahh that makes sense!! I get why Debian maintainers would want that, but it does seem quite hard to manage as a developer. I've went down the rabbit hole of how different Linux distros manage their repository packaging after your original comment so thanks for that :).
