This file also contains mkfs.xfs but declares no relationship against
xfsprogs.

This seems to be a false positive from some kind of mountinfo
(/proc/mounts ?) and can likely be ignored.


Apart from my first comment I'm not sure how useful it is to declare
a dependency in the package shipping go *source* that utilizes a
certain command. AIUI building go basically means you end up with
something statically linked and the consumer of the go source needs
to declare the dependency themselves (or atleast I'm not aware of any
way for go packages to propagate dependencies via a substvar or
similar).

Thus my conclusion is that it's probably best to just close this bug
report.

Would be great to hear maintainers view on this!
