Bug#1037252: golang-github-smallstep-cli: provide a binary package containing the step-cli executable



Source: golang-github-smallstep-cli
Version: 0.15.16+ds-3
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-go@lists.debian.org

Currently golang-github-smallstep-cli only provides the source code
(golang-github-smallstep-cli-dev package) for use when building other
packages.

But the upstream smallstep-cli code builds a binary executable (either
bin/step or bin/step-cli). Perhaps this is new in more recent upstream
releases, the toplevel Makefile is now quite different.

This executable has started to be required for two-factor
authentication enabling access of some HPC computational facilities,
so it's important for archive integrity to have it build for Debian
rather than grabbing prebuilt executables such as those provided at
https://github.com/smallstep/cli/releases/tag/v0.24.4

Can src:golang-github-smallstep-cli please now start providing the cli
binary executable?

I think the binary package should be called smallstep-cli (or maybe
step-cli) but you might have your own preferred naming policy.
